Full statement by Arjuna Ranatunga:
I was deeply saddened to hear the sudden demise of one of the greatest cricketers the world has ever seen. As many people know, Shane and I had a very confrontational and competitive relationship on the field, but we also had immense mutual respect for each other. Shane’s passing is a major loss, not only for Australian cricket but also for the cricketing community around the world. He had so much love and respect for the game of cricket, and the cricketing knowledge he had will be an immense loss. Shane’s achievements, both on and off the field, have been legendary, and the contributions he has made to the game of cricket will live on forever.
Our deepest sympathies to the Warne family. May he Rest In Peace.
