BRISBANE, AUG 5: Australian cricket selector Trevor Hohns said today that star spinner Shane Warne would be clear to take up a lucrative English county contract 8212; but warned him to be careful.

Warne has been offered a reported 375,000 for a one-season stint with Sussex.

There has been increasing concern about Warne8217;s workload in a packed international itinerary and the 28-year-old recently said the current Ashes tour of England could be his last.

Hohns said that with the right management, Warne should be able to play on the 2001 tour.
