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.�
