The cricketing world might very soon see \u2018sprint king\u2019 Usain Bolt sprinting on a cricket field as according to a report in The Times of India<\/strong> negotiations make him play in Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash League, with Shane Warne leading the campaign to bring him to Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Bolt who won three gold medals in London, played junior cricket before turning to the track and has long voiced a love for the game.<\/p>\n

“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,” Bolt was quoted in the report.<\/p>\n

“So we will see if I get the time off. I will try,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Twenty20, I love it,” said the sprinter, who describes himself as an all-rounder and told Australian media during the Olympics he planned to holiday Down Under in September.<\/p>\n

“Just the fact that it is so exciting, it’s about going hard the whole time, not just about playing shots. It’s about being aggressive and I like that style of batsman. If I get the chance I will definitely try because I know it’s going to be a lot of fun. I don’t know how good I am. I will probably have to get a lot of practice in,\u201d he added<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
