Published August 19, 2007

LONDON, Aug 18: Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne is trying to find out if he qualifies for a German passport in order to represent Hampshire as a non-overseas player. “My mum was German,” the Hampshire captain told reporters on the eve of Saturday’s domestic one-day final against Durham at Lord’s. “She came over to Australia when she was, I think, four or five.

“With only one overseas (player allowed) next year, it’s something we’re looking at.”—Reuters
