Jamaican star considers Australian cricket offer

OLYMPIC sprint star Usain Bolt said on Sunday that he's considering an offer from former test leg-spinner Shane Warne to play Twenty20 cricket in Australia next season.

The Melbourne Stars franchise, for which Warne is the marquee player, confirmed it has opened negotiations with Bolt through his management company about playing in the Big Bash League. Bolt played cricket in Jamaica and has expressed a love for the sport.

"If I get the chance I will definitely try because I know it's going to be a lot of fun. I don't know how good I am. I will probably have to get a lot of practice in," Bold said.
