Move IPL to SAfrica again, if threats are real: Warne

By The Assam Tribune

MELBOURNE, Feb 17 (PTI): Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne is concerned about safety of the cricketers in the wake of threats by terror groups and suggested that IPL-III be held in South Africa again if these threats are credible.

"The threats of the past 24 hours have certainly got me thinking twice and is of deep concern to athletes across several sports," Warne said.

"If the threats are proven to be real, then organisers of the IPL may look at moving the tournament. We moved it last year at short notice (to South Africa), so it can be done.

There is no way organisers will risk the safety of players and officials," he added.

It was Warne who had a few days ago urged the Australian cricketers to turn up for the event without any fear.
