Lyon Motivated To 'promote' Spin Bowling After Warne's Death
New South Wales: Australia spinner Nathan Lyon feels that he has the responsibility to 'promote' spin bowling in the country, the heritage that was revived by legend Shane Warne in the Down Under.
The 36-year-old is determined to keep going, aiming to continue playing until close to his 40th birthday and potentially featuring in the 2027 Ashes series in England. Lyon mentioned that he hasn’t given much thought to the legacy he'll leave for future spinners or who might succeed him in the Test team when his career eventually concludes.
After Warne's sudden death in 2022, Lyon believes that he has to keep the art alive in the country. He is the third-highest wicket-taker for Australia in Tests, with a tally of 530 scalps in 129 matches. Lyon is 33 dismissals short of Glenn McGrath to take the second spot behind Warne's massive tally of 708 wickets.
