Warne is currently serving a 12-month ban

Warne, who is married with two children, was accused by a 45-year-old South African woman of bombarding her with phone calls and provocative text messages after she went on several dates with him.

But Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland stated that while the allegations were unsubstantiated, Warne position as a public role model had not been compromised.

"Cricket Australia understands that there is a high degree of public interest in this and international cricketers have a responsibility as role models," said Sutherland.

"At the same time we also believe and maintain there is a fine line between individual cricketers' positions in public life and their private life.

"Right now, it is really a matter between the individuals."

Warne is taking legal advice after Helen Cohen Alon went public in a Johannesburg newspaper with claims he continued to send her messages and then tried to buy her silence.

"This appears to be a blatant attempt by a person attempting to set up someone for personal gain and we will consult our legal people in this regard," said his brother and promoter Jason.

Even though he is serving a 12-month suspension for a failed drugs test, Warne remains bound by the terms of his contract, including Cricket Australia's code of conduct.

"From a Cricket Australia point of view, we are always concerned about the role our cricketers play as ambassadors," said Sutherland.

"All Australian cricketers have a responsibility as role models and they are understanding of that responsibility.

Warne was stripped of the Australian vice-captaincy three years ago after revelations he bombarded an English nurse with lewd phone messages.

But he was victim of a blackmail attempt a year ago, after claims he kissed a teenage girl at the Gold Coast resort in Queensland.
