Australian leg spinner Shane Warne will not end his retirement from one-day internationals to play in the 2007 World Cup.

"Absolutely no, I don't have any plan for a one-day comeback," he told a news conference.

Warne quit one-dayers in 2003 to preserve himself for Tests. The 36-year-old will play Tests against Bangladesh for the first time in a two-match series from Sunday.

Who was Shane Warne's first wicket in Test cricket?


Warne, who has taken a world record 674 Test scalps, missed Bangladesh's previous two Tests against Australia in 2003 due to a doping suspension. He has played one Test against Zimbabwe.

Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan, the other bowler to surpass the 600-mark in Tests, is the only player to take 1,000 wickets in Tests and one-dayers.

He has taken 137 of his 611 Test wickets against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
