Usain Bolt is considering an offer from cricket legend Shane Warne to join Australia?s Big Bash League and his countryman Yohan Blake could also line-up for a rival team in the same division. Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake could face each other in an Australian cricket league (Picture: Getty) Bolt, who retained his 100 and 200metre titles at London 2012, played cricket at junior level in Jamaica. Sprint megastar Bolt said, regarding a proposed move to Melbourne Stars: ?I don?t know how good I am. ?I will probably have to get a lot of practice in. ?He (Warne) contacted me and asked me about if I am serious and if I really want to do it, then he can put in a few words that should get it done. ?So we will see if I get the time off. I will try.? Blake, who came second in both the 100 and 200metres at the London Olympics, has attracted the interest of rival team the Sydney Sixers, who are keen to secure his services. ?For one he (Blake) is a great athlete, and yes he would be a marketer?s dream, but from all reports he can actually play cricket and that?s better than anything else,? Sixers chief executive Stuart Clark said. ?If he can do what he says he can do, and I have no reason to disbelieve him, Yohan would be a marquee player for me to sign. ?I would definitely be considering it.?
