McGrath, Leonardi to marry in Italy?

Glenn McGrath and Sara Leonardi have decided to get married in Italy, it has been reported.

The 40-year-old Australian former cricketer's new 28-year-old fiancée, who was born in the US, was mostly raised in Sicily and is allegedly keen to have a traditional Italian ceremony there.

A friend of the couple told The Daily Telegraph: "Sara has a lot of friends in South Africa while Glenn has friends in England so the thinking is that Italy is a nice, happy medium."

However, McGrath's manager Warren Craig said: "To be honest I haven't had a chance to sit down and talk to him about wedding plans. I don't think they have thought beyond the engagement."

McGrath's first wife and mother of his two children Jane died from breast cancer in 2008.
