India's proposed 20/20 cup has been backed by Shane Warne who expects to be performing there. Already former West Indies captain Brian Lara has signed up. Shane Warne told the Times:
"Playing cricket in India is always an experience. That is one reason why I am keen to take part in the new Twenty20 League in October and November. The organisers are ambitious and if the whole package is right, then I’ll be out there."
The controversial competition has sparked comparisons with Kerry Packer's World series that shook the world of cricket 30 years ago. Warne believes that the tournament will serve a useful purpose:
"People the world over are turning to Twenty20 for a quick fix of cricket and they will love the spectacle in India."
