'We're not moving' - Simone Warne

Shane Warne's intention of relocating to England have been set back by his wife, Simone, who said the family would not move anywhere.

"We're not moving overseas," said Simone to The Australian at the family's Brighton home in Melbourne. "It's something we have talked about and we will see what happens later this year but that's about all I can say at the moment."

Warne had earlier announced that he plans to move to Hampshire, where he has signed a four-year county contract, and would return to Australia only in the summer. "I'm going to be living over in England. I love it over there," said Warne, who also bought a new property in Southampton. He said that he and his wife had yet to decide if they would sell their Brighton home. That decision, however, will be on the backburner after Simone's comments.
