I said what? ... Warnie pours cold water on rumours of an Ashes comeback. Source:News Limited
English batsmen, breathe a sigh of relief. Shane Warne won't be coming out of retirement for next year's Ashes series.
And even if he was willing to Cricket Australia wouldn't have a bar of it anyway.
The legendary leg-spinner took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to clarify comments he made surrounding a possible comeback for the 2013 Ashes.
It was reported that the 43-year-old said he would consider answering an Ashes SOS from Australia skipper Michael Clarke, if the call ever came from his good mate.
But according to Warne's personal Twitter account, his comments were taken out of context.
"It was a hypothetical question re if Michael Clarke asked me... Read my quotes "I'm not asking Michael to ask me" Hope I didn't disappoint!" Warne tweeted.
"Ps although my future wife @ElizabethHurley loves seeing me dressed up in my cricket whites !!!!!!! Xxx".

And if there was any confusion, CA went a step further, pointing out that Warne would have to make a full comeback to first class cricket and be selected out of the Sheffield Shield competition - basically extinguishing any hope of the genius considering a return.
"Shane Warne making himself available for Test selection is a tantalising thought but, ultimately, this would mean Shane making himself available to play Bupa Sheffield Shield cricket, which is the place where Australian Test cricketers are selected from," a CA spokesman said.
Warne, Australia's record wicket-taker, has long acknowledged a return to first-class cricket would not fit with his hectic trans-continental schedule of family, business and charity commitments.
Warne, who is preparing for the Big Bash League opener on Friday night, set tongues wagging after telling reporters on Tuesday that he was bowling as well as at any time since retiring from Test cricket in 2007, and had "absolutely no doubt" he could bowl successfully at Test level again.
"For me it's not a matter of whether I could do it or not - I have absolutely no doubt if I wanted to commit to try to make a comeback and go through grade cricket, first-class cricket and try to get selected ... that I could do it," Warne said.
