Shane Warne has revealed that he has been inundated with offers to return to the cricketing fold and partake in Australia’s Big Bash. William Hill are offering 2/1 that he takes up one of these offers and plays during Australia’s premiere T20 tournament.

Having hung up his googlies after Rajasthan Royals' last IPL match, Warne is 10/1 to dust them off and take to the field in India once more and is 33/1 to play for Australia at any form of the game again.
 
"Warney has lost quite a lot of weight recently and it would be interesting to see whether he has shed his bowling talents along with his two stone," said Hill’s spokesman and cricket betting expert Joe Crilly.
 
Warne recently became engaged to Liz Hurley although Hills offer 3/1 that the pair never get married. They are 12/1 to spate within a year of marriage, 8/1 to separate within two years and 4/1 to do so within three years.
