BRISBANE/SYDNEY, JUNE 12: The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) will not take action against Shane Warne for an alleged sexual harassment incident with a British nurse, saying they will let it rest as a private matter "at this stage".

A board spokesman said today that chief executive Malcolm Speed could meet Warne next week when he flies to London for an International Cricket Council meeting. But there was no immediate talks of disciplinary action for the bolwer.

Meanwhile, Sydney newspapers reported on Monday that Warne, who is playing county cricket in England for Hampshire, could face disciplinary action by the ACB if found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute.

Nurse Donna Wright, 22, told the Daily Mirror newspaper in London that Warne harrassed her with a series of unwanted and "disgusting" messages to her mobile telephone. She said Warne called her when she spurned his advances in a Leicester nightclub, The Mirror reported.
