Warne’s management released a brief statement in the early hours of Saturday (AEDT), that he passed away in Koh Samui, Thailand, of a suspected heart attack, according to Fox Cricket.
“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” according to the statement.

An iconic name in international cricket, Warne, since making his debut in 1992, played 145 Tests for Australia, picking up 708 wickets. In his 194 ODI appearances, Warne pared 293 scalps.
Shane Warne, who proudly bowled leg spin for Australia and various other franchises at the first class level, was revered as the master in leg-spin bowling. His unflinching determination and out of the box thinking made him separate from the rest.
