Shane Warne launches underwear range

Shane Warne has become the face of a men's underwear range.

The Australian cricketer has teamed up with Diamond Cut International to create a collection called Spinners.

Sales and merchandising manager Rick Harris told The Daily Telegraph that the underwears would be a "hybrid" design, "shorter than a trunk but wider than a brief" and also confirmed that Warne was involved throughout the design process.

The pants will reportedly come in a range of bright colours at Warne's insistence, but will not bear any motifs.
