ACB say no to Warne/Lashings
Friday, March 21 2003
The Australian Cricket Board has acted to prevent leg-spinner Shane Warne from playing for Kent club side Lashings in 2003.
ACB Spokesman Peter Young said, "On the face of it, it would not appear to be an appropriate activity while he's suspended. We will not be giving approval for Shane to play. Under terms of his ACB contract, Warne needs the ruling body's permission to play any cricket. Australian cricket officials are working with Warne and his manager to determine what he can do to maintain fitness and form during his suspension."
The ECB had earlier okayed the deal, as Lashings is not affiliated to the ECB. Lashings are also attempting to sign World Cup Hero Henry Olonga, to join Warne's former Australian team-mate, Mark Waugh.
