England's chairman of selectors, David Graveney, admitted on Saturday he had sought advice from Warne, who leads county side Hampshire.
"We have swapped phone numbers and will stay in touch," Graveney told the England's Sunday Telegraph.
Graveney approached Warne for his thoughts on who should be used as a back-up spinner for Monty Panesar on England's tour of Sri Lanka. Warne is a booster for his young Hampshire team-mate Adil Rashid...Warne was enthusiastic about Rashid, who has picked up 27 county wickets and averages 44 with the bat.
Hampshire team-mate? Even the original report which Lalor quotes gets that one right: Rashid plays for Yorkshire.
