Cricket legend Shane Warne will not just reveal several unknown stories of his gleaming cricketing career but also talk of his life off the field, in his latest Biography slated to be published in October.
According to a report in the Press Trust of India, Ebury Press has announced that Warne’s memoir “No Spin” will have a global release on October 4.
“No Spin” is the true story behind the headlines,” said the publisher. “In Warne’s own voice, and challenges some of the enduring myths and untruths that surround him. Uncompromising and compelling, it is destined to rank alongside some of the greatest sports autobiographies ever.”
The memoir has been collaborated together by Warne and Mark Nicholas.
Deputy publisher at Ebury, Andrew Goodfellow also spoke on Warne’s autobiography and said, “Despite all the pain he’s inflicted on us over the years Shane Warne is still one of the most admired and celebrated cricketers to a British audience.
“You simply can’t imagine the game without his unique contributions. I think his insight, no-nonsense honesty and strength of voice will make this the most read cricketing autobiography in years. At Ebury, we are all very excited and honoured to be publishing such a legend.”

The 48-year-old considered to be one of the finest cricketers of all time and also the greatest leg-spinner made his debut in international cricket in 1992 against India.
Little did anyone know then that the chubby blond hair spinner would rule the game for such a long time. Warne has taken over 1000 international wickets (708 in Test and 293 in ODIs). He was also a useful lower-order batsman and has 12 Test half-centuries to his name.
Warne’s life was however not just limited to the circle of cricket. He was banned for a year from cricket in 2003 just ahead of the World Cup after testing positive for a banned substance diuretic.
