Cricket world mourns passing of Australian spin legend Shane Warne

Legendary Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne is dead. Warne 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 career.

His management company said Warne had been found unresponsive in his villa in Thailand on Friday.

Warne won the 1999 50-over World Cup and claimed 293 dismissals in 194 One Day Internationals between 1993 and 2005.

He retired from international cricket in 2007 following Australia's 5-0 ashes sweep of England. Warne would continue to play Twenty20 franchise cricket until retiring from all formats in 2013.
