Test legend Shane Warne has not ruled out the possibility of becoming Darren Lehmann's successor as Australia coach once the position becomes available in 2019, reports https://www.cricket.com.au.
Lehmann reaffirmed in the lead-up to the Boxing Day Test he would not seek a contract extension once his current deal expires after the 2019 World Cup and Ashes series in the United Kingdom.
Warne, Australia's greatest wicket-taker, has acted as a coaching consultant and mentor at various stages since his Test retirement in 2007 - most notably for Australia in 2014 ahead of the World T20 in Bangladesh - and says he would consider answering the call should one come his way once Lehmann walks away.
"I've always been open to (coaching) any country, but obviously I would love to coach Australia - not coach Australia but be part of the Australian set-up if they needed it," Warne said on Wide World of Sports.
