#3 Shane Warne to come out with autobiography 'No Spin' in October

Shane Warne

Spin legend Shane Warne who currently in a deal with commentating for Foxtel Network, has revealed that all about his extraordinary cricketing career and life off the pitch will be covered in his autobiography which is slated for publishment this upcoming October.

The book, to be titled "No Spin" will be published by Ebury Press, and according to some sources, will have a global release on October 4.

It is interesting to note that Ebury is a British publication company, and at the same time, England was one of Warne's favourite victims throughout the length of his career - something that was specifically highlighted when Andrew Goodfellow, deputy publisher at Ebury, was asked to speak about the book.

"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," Mr. Goodfellow said.

"No Spin" will be the true story behind the headlines, in Warne's own voice, and challenges some of the enduring myths and untruths that surround him. The memoir is being written by Warne along with cricketer and TV presenter Mark Nicholas.
