Shane Warne reveals his proud dad moment reuniting with his children

Cricket legend Shane Warne is thrilled with his latest business venture, but reveals what has brought him the most joy.

Shane Warne is feeling green with delight over his latest business venture but above all the spin king has been hit for six as a proud dad this week.

The Australian cricket legend returned home to Melbourne for an emotional reunion with his son Jackson, 21, who excelled on military style TV show SAS Australia, and to see his youngest daughter Summer complete year 12.

“I’m so proud of him for what he did on the show, for a 21 year-old young man to do what he did with people who were older and more experienced and stronger — it’s great everyone has got a chance to see Jackson,’’ Warne said after his 14 days of quarantine in Perth.

“My son, who I love and have tried to help out and teach him right from wrong, manners and being polite, he’s just such a good young man.

“And my youngest daughter, Summer, finished her last exam (on Monday) so as a father my responsibility of educating my children through 20 years of school, school drop offs, fees, packing lunches, it’s all done so it was quite a good and rewarding day.

“Being a father and seeing the way my children have become amazing young adults makes me proud.”

As he prepares for a big summer of cricket commentary, Warne is also excited about renewable energy business Social Energy, with the hope of helping families reduce electricity bills.

They are introducing world first Duracell home solar batteries to Australia in a new partnership with installer Natural Solar.

“It’s such an important part of what’s going in the world, going green and trying to save the planet really, and we can all try to help out no matter how small,’’ Warne said.

“Basically we’re an energy retailer and we have exclusive battery technology which helps customers save more money and in some cases get their money back.”

He added: “I can be a grown-up at times, too.

“It doesn’t always have to be gin or my fragrance. Over the years I’ve gone from a sportsman to a commentator to a businessman. Our gin is killing it, the fragrance is killing it, it’s really important that I can diversify and help people.

“That’s what I’m trying to do with charities and foundations, I’ve been doing that for a long time. Sometimes it’s nice to get the good things out there.”
