Ashes squad set for No.1 says Shane Warne 'It's the start of something pretty special for this run of the Australian cricket team' said Shane Warne. Shane Warne has warned the selectors not to force generational change on a winning team now that the Ashes are won, believing Australia has the right combination of exuberance and experience to climb back to No.1. The home team has kept the same XI for the first three Tests, and named an unchanged squad for Boxing Day. Warne, the retired champion and confidant of Michael Clarke, believes the early Ashes triumph is only the beginning. "I think it can get back to No.1," he said. The spine of the team now, when you think of the inclusions of [David] Warner and Mitchell Johnson, they've added an X-factor with the bat and the ball. That spine of the team is doing well and now we're seeing [Steve] Smith and other guys come in, hopefully it's the start of something special. I don't think it was winning the Ashes, I think it's more important that it's the start of something pretty special for this run of the Australian cricket team. Sacked former coach Mickey Arthur has claimed regaining the urn papers over the need for generational change, with Chris Rogers, Brad Haddin, Clarke, Shane Watson, Ryan Harris and Johnson all aged in their 30s. But Warne said now was not the time to experiment with an eye to the future. I'd be keeping the foot on the throat. Ashes series are always pretty special and I think if we start messing around with the team too much you can get yourself in trouble. It's a good opportunity if someone has got a bit of an injury or is 50-50 to try someone else you're looking at, whether it's a batsman or a bowler. But I wouldn't be tweaking it too much. Arthur's comments have accentuated the distance between the former coach and the Test team that has thrived under his replacement, Darren Lehmann. Warne believes the rapid turnaround in fortunes vindicated Cricket Australia's decision to take drastic action just three weeks before the previous Ashes, and was critical of Arthur taking legal action against his former employer. "The Mickey Arthur situation is something that everybody looks back on and doesn't feel very good about," he said. I don't think he handled himself the best there. But I think it was good they moved so swiftly. When you get someone that's right to do it, then it's good to act pretty quickly. They acted pretty quickly and the results are starting to show.
