National teams do not need coaches: Warne
Chennai: Shane Warne was anything but ambiguous when he declared with typical finality that national teams do not need coaches, but teams at the first-class and domestic levels need them.

While virtually dashing any speculation about taking up a coaching assignment with a national team, Warne was responding to a query about his dual role as coach and captain of the Rajasthan Royals.

"I am basically a captain who is helping out the team by putting my first-class experience to good use. But otherwise, coach-cum-captain is just a title. I am lucky to have guys like Jeremy Snape and Darren Barry who work things out in the backroom," said Warne who is here for the game against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday.
