While Shane Warne's attention may be directed elsewhere, today he announces the launch of a new initiative to find the next generation of legspinners.
"Perhaps I might be biased, but to me spin bowling adds something special to cricket. That is why I’m really pleased to be involved with an initiative being launched by Mitre this morning to find and help young spinners. To anybody who reckons that leg spin is a dying art, I’ll just say this: not on my watch it isn’t."
The initiative will see Warne introducing a summer programme and then, in September, he will be at a coaching day for 100 of the brightest youngsters from across the country.
