Former Pakistan great Imran Khan says Australia should have talked Shane Warne out of retirement for the World Cup.
The holders head for the Caribbean on the back of a five-match ODI losing streak, their worst in a decade.
And Imran says if he’d been in charge of the Baggy Greens he’d have done everything possible to talk leg-spin king Warne out of retirement.
He ended his glittering top-level career after Australia’s 5-0 whitewash of England in the recent Ashes series.
And since then Ricky Ponting’s side have had nightmares bowling second in ODIs, failing to defend totals of 336 and 346 in the Chappell-Hadlee Series against New Zealand.
Imran told The Gulf Times: “Had I been the captain of Australia, I would have asked Warne to be there for the World Cup.
“I would have told him to forget the retirement thing. He fits very well in the one-day side considering the situation.
“With Brett Lee as a match-winner not playing because of his injury, Australia should have fallen back on Warne. They would have become stronger.”
