Australian cricket legend Shane Warne dies aged 52.

Legendary Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, has died of a suspected heart attack aged 52.

Warne took 708 Test wickets, the second most of all time, in 145 matches across a stellar 15-year international career.

Warne’s management says he died of a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand on Friday (04) March 2022.

Warne helped Australia win the 1999 50-over World Cup and claimed 293 dismissals in 194 one-day internationals between 1993 and 2005.

In 2000, he was named one of the five Wisden cricketers of the century, alongside Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Jack Hobbs and Sir Viv Richards.

He retired from international cricket in 2007 following Australia's 5-0 Ashes clean sweep of England at home.

He continued to play Twenty20 franchise cricket until retiring from all formats in 2013.

He is survived by his three children with former wife Simone Callahan.

Only Sri Lankan off-spinning great Muttiah Muralitharan, with 800 dismissals, has taken more Test wickets than Warne.
