Warne’s death sent shockwaves around the world and sparked a huge outpouring of grief and love, which still resonates deeply today.
Warne died of a heart attack on March 4, 2022 while on a boys holiday on the island of Koh Samui.
He became a world star in 1993 by bowling out Mike Gatting with the so-called ‘Ball of the Century’ – his first ball in Ashes cricket.
The spin bowler went on to take 708 Test wickets, tormenting teams around the world, especially Australia’s great rival, England.
