Leg-spin great Shane Warne on Friday said the International Cricket Council should ensure that the world’s top players who got signed up with the Indian Premier League play in the “revolutionary” Twenty20 venture. Talking to news persons after the official launch of the Jaipur franchisee team Rajasthan Royals, Warne rubbished the notion that IPL would have negative influence in international cricket.

“It is a new and revolutionary concept and if ICC uses a little common sense it can co-exist with international cricket,” he said. “ICC should accommodate IPL in the international calendar and ensure that best players of the cricketing world play in it. It would make the IPL more colourful and competitive,” Warne, who would be the captain-cum-coach of the team said.
