Former Australian spinner Shane Warne has rejected suggestions that he plans to return to cricket.
The 43-year-old hinted that he could play in the national side after retiring from Test cricket five years ago.
Warne tweeted: "Clarification guys & thank-you for the kind words, but... I was asked 'could' I play not 'would' I play..yes, I could..didn't say I would!"
The famous bowler still plays Twenty20 cricket in his homeland.
