Legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne has died at the age of 52.
Warne died of a suspected heart attack while in Koh Samui, Thailand.
In a statement, his management team said: “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived.”
“The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.” Warn retired from international cricket in 2007, after a stellar career where he took 708 Test wickets in 145 matches.
He won the 1999 50-over World Cup and claimed 293 dismissals in 194 one-day internationals between 1993 and 2004.
Warne retired from international cricket in 2007 and he continued to play franchise Twenty20 cricket until 2013.
After retiring, the spinner worked as a cricket commentator.
Tributes poured in for Warne from the cricketing world.
Virender Sehwag, the former Indian batsman, said Warne was “one of the greatest spinners, the man who made spin cool”.
