Mumbai, May 15: Shane Warne and his fellow Australians in the Rajasthan Royals had last night almost made up their mind to leave India, shaken by the blasts at their team base, Jaipur.

What changed their minds this morning was the Indian Premier League’s mega bucks. IPL boss Lalit Modi told the Australians — and South African Graeme Smith — that if they walked out on their contract, they might be overlooked for future seasons, a league source said.

Royals captain Warne, Shane Watson, Smith and the team’s Australian performance manager, Darren Berry, left for Jaipur today from Goa where they had been vacationing.

All of them will be available for Saturday’s home game against the Bangalore Royal Challengers. “We are looking forward to it. Yes, they were a little bothered, but now they are assured. They are on their way to the city,” Modi said.

The four foreign signings had held an emergency meeting in Goa last night with Fraser Castellino, CEO of Emerging Media, which owns the Rajasthan Royals. They told him they wanted out, league sources confirmed.
