Australian cricket legend Shane Warne has admitted he has joined dating app Tinder.

The former international star - who is widely considered as one of the game's best ever bowlers - revealed he has been on a couple of dates since joining the app.

Warne was engaged to actress Elizabeth Hurley between 2011 and 2013, but he described himself as "very, very, very single".

Speaking to The Times Magazine he said that women on the app often thought he was an impersonator.

He said: "People say, 'Why are you trying to impersonate Shane Warne?'

"I go, 'OK, yeah, I am.' And then they go, 'No! It's really you!' And you go, 'OK, it is.' And then they go, 'No, it's not!' So I'm on there for the fun value."

Asked if he was open to falling in love again, he said: "I'm not looking for it. But if it happens, it happens.

"There's one or two nights a week when you haven't got your kids and you haven't got your mates, and you just want to chill. It's nice to share things with someone.

"Say how you're feeling about things, how their day was. Cuddling up on the couch. I like that stuff."
