Aussies don't need me anymore: Warne

Melbourne, Oct 8 (PTI) The Australian cricket team is struggling to find a decent replacement for him but spin legend Shane Warne has ruled out coming out of retirement, saying that the side no longer needs him.

Asserting that he was happily retired and does not have
the inclination to return, Warne said he has not been
approached to come back.

"Look, I'm happily retired. The Australian side's playing
well. They played well in the West Indies. They don't need me
at the moment. I don't think the call will come. If the call
comes I'll weigh it up at the time" Warne was quote as saying
by 'The Australian Associated Press', a news agency.

Warne, however, maintained that he was fit despite being
away from international cricket.

"I'm fit enough, as in running around the block, I'm
probably as fit as I've ever been. I bowled three balls in
Brisbane the other day. They're the first since the Indian
Premier League -- what's that, four months?" he said.

Australia have pencilled in Cameron White and Jason
Krejza to fill the spin void left by Warne. The legendary
leg-spinner said it would be interesting to see how the team
plays the duo.

"It will be interesting to see what they do, whether they
strengthen the batting with Cameron White as the two spinners
or play an out and out spinner in (Jason) Krejza," Warne said.

"It might depend on the conditions and what make-up they
want in their side before they pick their team. It will be
interesting to see what they do," he added. PTI PM
