“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,” his family said in a statement.

Warne's passing comes within a day after Australian wicketkeeping legend Rod Marsh died after suffering a recent heart attack.
