Cricket: Warne set to make a return

MELBOURNE: Australian spin legend Shane Warne is set to come out of retirement and play a few matches in the Twenty20 Big Bash. Warne has yet to decide whether he would turn up for the Melbourne Renegades or the Melbourne Stars. The leg-spinner, who retired from Test cricket in 2007, had continued to play Twenty20 cricket until earlier this year, when he gave up the game fully after four years with the Rajasthan Royals. “I think it will be nice to help the young players out and have a bit of fun with the Twenty20,” said Warne.
