Urging authorities to observe an annual two-month freeze on international cricket to provide a window for the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 Tournament, spin legend Shane Warne has described playing in it last year it as the most exciting chapter of his many-splendoured career.
"I think for world cricket, I think (because of) the IPL, for April and May there should be no international cricket, and all the players around the world should be involved," said Warne, whose distinguished career has included a World Cup victory, world records and several Ashes series.
The blonde Victorian with a chequered personal life told a Sydney newspaper yesterday: "In 20 years of playing... I haven't experienced anything like what I experienced in India last year. It was truly unbelievable. (Pl also display separately).
"The Ashes in 2005 comes pretty close to the intensity of the crowd and the passion and the news, but we were getting (more than) 110,000 at Eden Gardens, there was (sic) 25,000 outside the ground for the final, plus 90,000 in the stadium."
