Former Australia great Shane Warne has been a controversial figure off-the field related to his relationships with celebrities and porn stars. The 49-year-old has probably been one of the greatest spinners of all time but some fancy remarks has often landed him in trouble. Recently he was caught sending some flirty messages to a 24-year-old British girl on Tinder that again brought back his “Playboy” image to the people.
Shane recently unveiled a book which is related to his personal life named “No Spin. Shane Warne”. The spinner promises that the book will hold some brutal realities of his life. He made a startling revelation about a Pakistani cricketer and said that he was offered some money to bowl wide of the off-stump.
“Saleem Malik offered me 200,000 US dollars, he said it will be in my room in half-an-hour if I bowl wide of the off-stump and the match was a draw. That’s the bottom line of what he asked,” Warne told NDTV.
The fixing clouds were surrounding the time of 90’s and Warne was later approached by a bookie from Island nation of Sri Lanka.
“I lost 5000 thousand dollars in a casino and a friend of Mark Waugh said, ‘look, here is the 5000’ and I said ‘no, I’m okay’. But he said, ‘no strings attached and no nothing’ and that was that,” Warne recalled.
