Australian spin legend Shane Warne is reportedly planning to launch a spin bowling academy at his new home in England with his fiancée Elizabeth Hurley.
According to the Mirror, the celebrity couple is having a house built in Gloucestershire, and Warne wants to have his own cricket pitch in the grounds, set to be installed at the back of his and Hurley’s new abode. The report further said that Warne, who has already worked with Cricket Australia in helping emerging talent in Melbourne, intends to welcome budding young English spin bowlers to learn from the best.
The former spin bowler, who now spends more time in England alongside actress Hurley, also intends to use his personal pitch to host charitable matches and to raise money for the Shane Warne Foundation, the report further said.A match earlier this year brought in 200,000 pounds for his fund and the Hop, Skip & Jump Foundation, which both support children, the report added.
