Australia's own Shane Warne has accepted a 2 year deal with England to be there new coach. Warne admitted that he would be interested going back to England and coach, but the move has been made just 2 weeks after the closing of the Ashes series. Warne has taken over the job, and looks to build up this side, for the next ashes series in the 2009/2010 season.

Monty Panesar was pleased to hear the news, now i know what it is like to be around the great man, and hopefully he can teach me more about spin bowling.

Panesar says it will be a honour working under Warne

Shane Warne and Michael Vaughan speak at the Press Conference

Editor: Now Shane how did you come to making this decision?

Well, the England team confronted me about the decision, about 6 days after the Ashes Series, they said, that they wanted me to come back to England and coach them until the Ashes series in 09/10 seasons.

Editor: And when was it when you finally made the decision to go back and coach?

Well, it was probably only about a week ago, i talked it through with my family, and they are happy for me to go back and coach, i have an arrangment with Jetstar, they will fly me and my family out for a low cost whenever we need it, just so we can be together, and yeah i had to think about it for a while, my main plan after retiering was to spend time with my family, probably a couple of months before i sat down and thought about what was the next phase of my life.

Editor: Now Michael, what is it like to have someone like Shane Warne coaching a group of men like yaselves?

Its an hounour, some great player of the game, a legend of the game like Warne to coach us, teach us all he knows about the game, it is just a previllege working under this man, we go on our 1st training session together tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.

Editor: What plans do you have for this side Shane? any tatics?

No not really, this side is full of talent, i just dont think anyone has seen it yet, they have a young side aswell, players like Pietersen and Cook, they are stars in the making, as we saw Cook hit 140+ in one of the Innings in the Ashes, so we know what he is capable of. I think we will see more of Pietersen in the next few months, when the World Championships are on. But not really any tatics for the side, i have had some coaching roles at Hampshire so Pietersen would know most of my moves anyway, but nah i will try alot of new things with this team.

Editor: Well thankyou both for your time and good luck for the future.
