Warne nervous about ‘ridiculous sledging law’

Shane Warne says in his Herald Sun column the Indian Premier League is here to stay – and his only concern is “the ridiculous new sledging law”.

It will be hard not to say something to someone, but I think the pace of the game will help as there will be no time to sledge. Well, maybe a little sneaky one here or there.

Warne, the captain and coach of the Rajasthan Royals, is excited about returning to bowl after a long break.

Although I am pulling up a little sore in the mornings, it's hard to know if I have lost any zing until we start playing. To be honest, I have not done lots of batting and bowling until this last week and, surprisingly, I feel in a pretty good space and am looking forward to testing myself in the Twenty20 format.
