Australian cricket great Shane Warne passed away due to natural causes, Thai police confirmed on Monday. The legendary leg-spinner died while on holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand last week aged 52. Ad/> Thai police say Warne had suffered chest pains and that he had a medical history of asthma and heart problems.
Australia captain Ricky Ponting "loves" Shane Warne so much that he tends to switch off his television set on hearing the late spin king's voice in it in the past couple of days as he still can't believe that his one-time teammate is no more. In an emotional tribute to Warne with whom he played for much of his 15-year international career, Ponting said he is still struggling to comprehend the unexpected death of his close friend.
Shane Warne's state funeral will be held at the iconic MCG in front of an expected crowd of 100,000 people in a fitting farewell to the Australian spin king in the next two to three weeks, according to reports. The public memorial will be held after Warne's family mourn him at a private service. Warne's manager James Erskine did not confirm MCG as the venue for the state funeral but hinted that no other stadium would be an appropriate one considering the stature of the legendary Australian. "But where else?" Erskine told 'The Age'.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting looked extremely emotional and almost broke down in the middle of an interview for the International Cricket Council (ICC), as he spoke about, and paid tribute to, his former teammate and great friend Shane Warne, who passed away recently in Thailand, aged 52, due to a "suspected heart attack".
Shane Warne's state funeral will be held at the iconic MCG in front of an expected crowd of 100,000 people in a fitting farewell to the Australian spin king in the next two to three weeks, according to reports here. The public memorial will be held after Warne's family mourn him at a private service. Warne's manager James Erskine did not confirm MCG as the venue for the state funeral but hinted that no other stadium would be an appropriate one considering the stature of the legendary Australian. “But where else?” Erskine told 'The Age'. According to 'Herald Sun', the state funeral is likely to be held within two or three weeks, which would overlap with the Australian Rules Football League (AFL) season, but the MCG “will make all necessary arrangements to accommodate the service”.
The 52-year-old was found unresponsive in his villa about 5.15pm on Friday after not arriving for dinner with friends, as planned.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting plans to ensure Shane Warne’s legacy lives on through the new generation of cricketers by passing on the things he learned from the spin great.
