Former Australian cricketer Shane Warne has died at the age of 52. He died of a suspected heart attack.

In a statement to Australian media Fox Sports, Vaughan’s management said: “Sean was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff he was unable to revive.”

He represented Australia from 1992 to 2007.

The legendary spinner played 145 Test matches for Australia, while he hit 708 wickets in his longest run. He also represented Australia in 194 one-day internationals and took 293 wickets.

Warne was credited for bowling the “bowl of the century” when he dismissed England batsman Mike Gatting in the 1993 Ashes.  

The ball that was pitched outside leg stump spun immensely to hit Mike Gatting’s off stump.
