Warne needs to lose some pounds
|
Australian leg-spin bowler Shane Warne has begun a two-month preparation for his expected return to international cricket with a workout in Adelaide.
With help from coach Terry Jenner and former Australian wicket-keeper Ian Healy, Warne bowled for an hour.
The man whose 12-month suspension for using a banned diuretic expires on 10 February, said he was 'a bit rusty'.
Warne could reverse his decision to retire from international one-day cricket when his drug ban ends.
"It's something I will chat to the selectors and [one-day captain] Ricky Ponting about.
"The reason I retired from one-day cricket was so I could add two or three more years to my Test career.

The last few weeks he hasn't bothered too much with his fitness

"But having this year off was like having a break."
Jenner admitted Warne had put on weight during his drug
ban.
He said: "He is fit, but not as fit as he needs to be. He is carrying a few extra kilos, three or four, but like me it goes to the wrong areas.
