Shane Warne is enjoying the Twenty20 captain’s role with the IPL’s Rajasthan Royals. Now he has an ever more enticing opportunity, leading a team he missed.

Warne lost his Australian vice captaincy following more scandals of his notorious womanizing. In a bid to maintain a clean image, Cricket Australia demoted him and Adam Gilchrist grew into the vice captaincy slot. Now it appears he has a golden chance.
The Australian All Star team will be playing a Twenty20 match with the frontline Australian eleven on 22nd of November, as a mark of opening the season of cricket in Australia. Warne will have the opportunity to lead the likes of Glen McGrath and Matthew Hayden at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Warne was already involved in a charity Twenty20 match last month, the British Asia Cup, with the Rajasthan Royals against England's county team, Middlesex Panthers, who lost by a fair margin.
With the charity angle involved with cricket’s association with the Cricket Cares initiative to associate with the McGrath Foundation, the Shane Warne Foundation and the Movember Foundation, it appears a fun day out for cricket fans but with a noble purpose as well.
