Warne may quit in two years

Published May 2, 2005

SYDNEY, May 1: Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne could quit the international game in the next two years, his brother and manager Jason said on Sunday. Jason told Sydney’s Sun-Herald that Warne was considering retiring after the 2006-07 Ashes series in Australia to spend more time with his family.

“The Ashes in 2006-07 could be Shane’s last series,” Jason said. “He’s mentioned that during talks we’ve had about when he might retire. He’s still really enjoying Test match cricket but that is a date he’s talked about.

“If he didn’t have kids, he might play forever, but he misses them a lot these days.” Should Warne retire after the 2006-07 Ashes series, his final Test would be in Sydney where he made his Test debut against India in 1991-92.—Reuters
