Cricket: Warne uncertain of retirement
I do love cricket, I’m passionate about the game, says Warne.
SYDNEY:
Australian cricket legend Shane Warne said he could not determine when he would finally retire, as he prepares to captain a domestic Twenty20 team five years after leaving the international scene.
The 43-year-old leg-spinner, who remains Australia’s highest ever wicket-taker with 708 Test scalps, said each time he thought he might have played for the last time, another competition came along that sparked his interest.
“I do love cricket, I’m passionate about the game and if I can help Australian cricket in any way, shape or form then I will,” said Warne. Warne returned to training yesterday ahead of the Big Bash League, which will kick off on December 7 when the Melbourne Stars play the Melbourne Renegades.
