Former Australia cricket captain Shane Warne has refuted reports that he is in a relationship with a Sydney hairdresser following his split from actress Elizabeth Hurley.

The 44-year-old was rumoured to have found new love with 29-year-old Zanbagh Khalili.

However, Warne took to Twitter to say: "FTR & I know it's nobody's business, I'm not in a relationship, smitten by anyone or seeing anyone, all absolute rubbish & made up lies."

The former bowler also hinted during an interview on radio station KIIS 106.5 that a reunion with Hurley could be on the cards.

According to the Daily Mail, when asked about his on-off relationship with the actress, Warne said: "I'm just sitting on the fence on that one, but we'll see how things unfold over the next few months. I'll inform you soon."

The couple got engaged back in 2011.
