“I’ve had conversations with a few and said they’re not really in my plans. It’s up to them to sort themselves a club. So there will be another couple or possibly three I’d expect to leave. But you never know. They might decide to stay and try to fight for their places.
Warne however will give all the players a clean slate; “When pre-season starts, I won’t have any favourites, I’ll literally let them scrap for their shirts.

“I would like a squad of 23/24 senior pros and to make up the rest of my squad with young pros who I expect to play a part next year. I don’t want to carry a 30-man senior-pro squad. I’ve seen that before and it causes a lot of problems behind the scenes.” he told the Star.
