Shane Warne will have a stand named after him at the MCG, while his family has been offered a state funeral, following the cricket legend’s shock death at age 52.
Warne, the larger than life leg-spinner who bamboozled batsmen, enthralled fans, and constantly provided fodder to tabloids, stunned the world one last time on Friday as he passed away, aged just 52. Warne, who ended his international career in 2007 with 708 Test wickets, more than anyone else except Muttiah Muralitharan (800) died from a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand, his family confirmed in a statement. He also had 293 wickets from 194 one-dayers, won the man-of-the-match award when Australia beat Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup final, and was declared one of the five greatest cricketers of the 20th century by Wisden.
Cricketing legend Shane Warne said a final goodnight to the world on Friday evening, posting “Goodnight from Samujana Villas in Koh Samui” with an image of a swimming pool.
Australian captain Pat Cummins, currently leading the team on a tour of Pakistan, said legendary spinner Shane Warne, who died Friday, was "a hero" to the current generation of cricketers.
When it began, this day was supposed to be one of uplift. Australia’s return to cricket in Pakistan after 24 long years. The Rawalpindi Stadium outside Islamabad. A full crowd coming in to see a touring team go from abstraction to reality. Something historical, something to mark. It was a Friday, the centre of Muslim prayer, with an extended lunch break giving a spiritual heart to the day. There was poignancy, too, marking the loss of Rod Marsh. His death fitted our rough calculus of life: 74 years lived, younger than many, but a good life behind him with many misadventures survived.
Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
Australian captain Pat Cummins, currently leading the team on a tour of Pakistan, said legendary spinner Shane Warne, who died Friday, was "a hero" to the current generation of cricketers. "So many guys in this team and squad still hold him as a hero," he said in a video message released to media Friday night. "The loss that we are all trying to wrap our heads around is huge. The game was never the same after Warnie emerged, and the game will never be the same after his passing." Warne, widely regarded as one of the best Test players of all time, died of a suspected heart attack in Thailand, aged 52.
Cricketers past and present around the world from Sachin Tendulkar to Brian Lara and Ben Stokes paid shocked tribute on Friday to Australian spin maestro Shane Warne who died of a suspected heart attack at 52.
