Leading Test wicket taker Shane Warne has said he would quit cricket altogether if his three children become affected by his pending divorce from wife Simone.
"If they start to get affected then everything will stop," Warne told News Limited newspapers in Australia on Sunday. "I'd have to stop everything.
"With everything you do, unfortunately there are some sacrifices you have to make.
"For me, playing international cricket for Australia and doing the best I can for a long period of time, my kids are the ones who miss out on some dad time.
"It's not to say they don't get time -- they get a lot and I've had a lot of impact on them growing up."
Warne separated from his wife last July after sex allegations in British tabloid newspapers.
Simone Warne, in a recent interview with a women's magazine, said the marriage was over and she was going ahead with divorce proceedings.
The 36-year-old Warne said he would now spend time with his children before Australia's tour of South Africa in March.
He will then travel to Britain, where he will play for Hampshire in the English county competition.
Warne, who has 659 Test wickets, refused to put a timeline on when he would retire because he was enjoying his cricket.
"I'm enjoying the guys and I'm enjoying the way we play.
"How much longer I'll play, who knows? I think it's all about enjoyment, and the last couple of years have probably been the best I've had.
"Once the enjoyment goes, it will be time for me to go -- at present I'm enjoying cricket."
