Shane Warne admits Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 was right not to make him captain
Former Australian player, Shane Warne, has claimed that the Cricket Australia (CA) was right in not appointing him the national team’s skipper at any point of his illustrious career.
The legendary spinner is currently leading the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but will retire from all forms of cricket at the end of this year’s season.
Warne stated, “If I didn't get the opportunities then so be it. I think the suits and ties and all, they were probably fair because I have been through a few things.”
The 41-year-old admitted, “I made poor calls and some poor choices. So, they were probably right in the way they were thinking, saying ‘it’s too much of a risk, anything could happen in that stage of my life’.”
Warne was the seen as the ideal choice to lead Australia after Steve Waugh, but was even stripped off his vice-captaincy due to some disciplinary issues. He was found guilty of sending numerous erotic messages to a British nurse and was also involved in
some misconduct with the fans.
The wily leg-spinner retired from international cricket in 2006, but this was not the last time his fans saw him playing. He joined the IPL in 2008 and was hired as the captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals.
Warne’s team wasn’t tipped as the favourite to win the title in the inaugural season of the cash rich event, but the legendary player inspired his franchise to a title victory, surprising one and all.
Apart from performing with the ball, Warne proved to be a tremendous leader for his side. He had a very young team and there were not many big stars in the line-up. However, the youngsters followed their captain and gave their 100 percent, especially at
home soil.
The next couple of seasons didn’t prove to be ideal for Rajasthan and the team struggled to make an impression.
The team has given some mixed performances in the ongoing season and is currently placed at number five in the pool. They still have a chance of making it to the play-offs, but will need to win all their remaining games.
