Warne’s manager, James Erskine, confirmed in a statement to the Herald and The Age that Warne died in Thailand.
“It is with great sadness we advise that Shane Keith Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand today, Friday 4th March,” the statement says.
“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.”
Warne, the greatest leg-spinner of all-time, took 708 Test wickets in a glittering 145-Test career.
The Victorian revolutionised the way the game was played and inspired a generation of cricketers.
He is second to Muttiah Muralitharan on the all-time wickets tally in Test cricket.
News of Warne’s death will send reverberations around the cricketing world. There has already been an enormous reaction of shock on social media.
A hugely popular figure, Warne was a commentator with Fox Sports in the recent Ashes summer.
Warne debuted in 1992 for Australia and retired in 2007.

That's an umpiring howler.
The umpire who gave Warne OUT is a f---ing cheat.
I demand a TV review.
