Cricket fans should make the most of the visit of India later this summer as it's likely to be the last time their star batsman Sachin Tendulkar will tour this country.

For ex-England captain Michael Atherton the Little Master is the last of the modern greats. When he calls time on his career he - and the likes of Brian Lara and Shane Warne - will be hard to replace.

SHANE Warne’s threat to come out of international retirement for next year’s Ashes series should be taken with a pinch of salt, according to ex-England skipper Mike Gatting.

Warne, currently playing in the Indian Premier League, famously took Gatting’s wicket with the “ball of the century� on his Ashes debut in 1993 and was reported to want a return to the Australian team.

“He’s being very mischievous,� said Gatting. “I thought he’d got enough on his plate in India. For him to slip out a little mischievous comment like that, it’s typical Shane.�

But would Gatting be tempted to try to regain his England place to get revenge for “that� ball?

He said: “No, no, no. I shan’t be coming back anywhere near, and I don’t think Shane will either.�
