Warne is very excited to have Bolt play with his team; he has even started a social medal campaign to garner support for Bolt.
Now that the London Olympics has concluded, the negotiations will intensify. Providing all goes well and Bolt is free and able to play, he will join Warner and the rest of the Melbourne team in December.
Bolt played junior cricket in Jamaica and is a lover of the sport. He has also tried his hand at charity cricket matches.
Usain Bolt captured three gold medals at the London Olympics; he retained his 100m and 200m titles and led the 4x100m men’s relay team to victory.
