Warne promised warm willkommen in Deutschland

Germany’s coach is excited by Shane Warne’s passport adventures and has invited him to play for his team. And even if Warne refuses he is still welcome “just for a beer”.

"I was surprised when I heard he was looking into getting a German passport, it's hilarious really,” Keith Thompson told AFP. "I don't know if he would even come here, but we will try and get him over.”
