Warne plays down comeback speculations
KOLKATA, May 21: Leg spin legend Shane Warne on Tuesday rubbished reports that he was open to the possibility of staging a comeback to Test cricket if Australia needed him for the next Ashes series.
“I am very happily retired. I am looking forward to spend my time with my children and work for charity,” Warne said.
Warne’s comments effectively put the lid on speculation that he was mulling a comeback into the longer version of the game.
Earlier, media reports had quoted Warne as saying, “If Australia really needed me and there was no one else around, and Ricky thought I could do the job, you would weigh up the options.”
The report also quoted Warne as saying that he decided to hang his boots as he was sick of touring and other commitments.—Agencies
