With Shane Warne gone, it is now up to me to pass his teachings to younger players: Ricky Ponting

Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has condoled the untimely demise of Shane Warne, saying it is now his duty to pass the teachings of the legendary spinner to the younger generation. Warne had passed away on Friday aged 52 after a suspected heart attack. "He was a teacher through his commentary and I've seen hundreds of photos over the last 24 hours of all the spinners he worked with. He helped Steve Smith in his younger days and Rashid Khan has been catching up with him - just imagine the conversations they would have had. So I feel it is now up to me, whenever I get an opportunity, to just let the world know what he was like and pass on some of the things I learnt from him," Ponting said on the 'ICC Review'.
