Warne once joked about smoking to beat Covid
In September, Shane joked he was trying to smoke 100 cigarettes a day to cure Covid.
The 52-year-old Australian tested positive over the summer, forcing him to isolate himself and miss training with The Hundred team London Spirit.
Double-jabbed Warne, a Sky TV cricket pundit who won 708 Test wickets, said: “Unfortunately I don’t play enough golf because I have Covid.
“Don’t take this as some kind of gospel and that’s actually a bit ironic but I figured if I smoke 100 cigarettes a day I could kill Covid.
“It didn’t really work and I ended up on a ventilator so it wasn’t ideal.
“I had to have the ten days of isolation – but I’m on my feet now.”
The retired spin bowler’s claims follow numerous bizarre attempts to avoid the virus, including taking animal dewormers or drinking bleach
