Warne retires from first-class cricket
Australian cricket legend Shane Warne has followed up his decision to quit Hampshire by retiring from all first-class cricket. Warne was scheduled to miss the start of the domestic season because of other commitments, including a poker event.
But Warne, 38, has now opted out of returning altogether after committing himself to the new Indian Premier League.
This was not an easy decision to make," said the Australian. "But due to some exciting business opportunities, I had to make this call."
He continued: "My eight years involved with Hampshire have been a wonderful experience, memories that will last with me forever and likewise the friendships that have been formed at the club.
"Unfortunately I am retiring from all first class cricket but will participate in the IPL with the Jaipur franchise as captain and coach.
"Good luck to all involved at the Rose Bowl. I wish you all the best."
