Just keep your country above IPL: Warne

Melbourne, February 26:: Purists may scoff at it but the Indian Premier League (IPL) is in Melbourne to stay, says Australian spin legend Shane Warne, who feels it is upto the cricketers to make sure that the cash-rich Twenty20 league does not threaten the international schedule.

“I think that’s (IPL) here to stay, that isn’t going anywhere. If the players make sure that their country’s the number one priority then I don’t think we can go wrong. We should enjoy it, we should embrace it and it should be a lot of fun,” Warne was quoted as saying by the ‘Australian Associated Press’ (AAP).

The retired tweaker, who will play for the Jaipur team, said IPL offered good money for six weeks of work.

“The money side of things, obviously it’s fantastic, it’s a real bonus for six weeks’ work. Whatever you get is fine by me,” he said.

On the ongoing on-field hostilities between India and Australia, Warne said there was nothing negative about it and the two teams were only being competitive.

“We’ve obviously seen a few emotions out on the field which I think is pretty good. There’s been a few incidents both sides would probably look back on and say, you know, look if we could have done that again we might have done it differently,” he said.
