New Delhi: Former Australia leg-spinner and one of the greats of the game Shane Warne died of a suspected heart attack on Friday in Thailand where he was on a holiday with his friends. With more than 1000 wickets to his name, Warne was possibly the best leg-spinner to have played the game and his death came as a shock, even more so when there were no reported health issues that the 52-year-old was suffering from.

“Shane was having three months off and this was the start of it. They had only arrived the night before,” said Shane Warne’s manager James Erskine.
