Jaipur’s Shane Warne says IPL will not be an acrimonious affair
Aussie spin wizard Shane Warne , who will captain and coach Jaipur IPL team, says the DLF IPL Twenty20 tournament would not be an acrimonious affair, despite India’s controversial tour of Australia.
The Austalian tour had been a much charged-up affair following a spate of controversies including the racism charges levelled against Harbjahan Singh and his show-downs with Andrew Symonds and Mathew Hayden.
Andrew Symonds and Mathew Hayden will play for Hyderbad and Chennai IPL teams respectively. Indian captain MS Dhoni too will play alongside Hayden in Chennai Super Kings – that should be fun!
But the spin wizard is not impressed with the controversies on the field. Shane Warne thinks the teams would have handled the charged-up atmosphere a bit differently.
Shane Warne also said Australia should opt for Victoria’s Bryce McGain as a future prospect, adding Stuart MacGill would bounce back to form.
The Australian media have pointed to a serious spin lacunae in the line-up as a cause for concern after Shane Warne retired.
