Pakistan’s cricket fraternity takes to Twitter to mourn Shane Warne’s sudden death at 52

Shane Warne, the legendary cricketer, has passed away of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52 in Koh Samui, Thailand, while on holiday.

Warne, named one of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Century, claimed 708 Test wickets in a 15-year career for Australia between 1992 and 2007, and was also an ODI World Cup winner in 1999.

According to his manager Michael Cohen, he died of a suspected heart attack.

“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” Cohen’s statement read. “The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”

According to Reuters, Thai Police said Warne and three other friends were staying in a private villa and one of them went to inquire about him after the former cricketer did not turn up for dinner.

The shocking news comes hours after the death of another icon of Australian cricket, former wicketkeeper Rod Marsh, who also suffered a heart attack earlier this week at the age of 74.
