Swann Plays Down Warne Return

Graeme Swann says Shane Warne won't return

England spinner Graeme Swann has played down speculation that Legendary Australian bowler Shane Warne will come back out of retirement for the remainder or the Ashes tour.

"I very much doubt that Shane Warne would come out of retirement to play just in these three games," said Swann.

Much of the media has suggested that Australia's all-time leading wicket taker could return to Test cricket after England's dominant innings-and-71-run win in Adelaide and Australia going 1-0 down in the series after the second test.

"It's very good for us that the Aussies are doing this and the Aussie public are looking for Shane to get back in.

"He's not played any cricket for so long. We'll just carry on as we are and let the Aussies worry about that."
