Australian cricket superstar Shane Warne will be honoured with a state funeral at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on March 30, the Victorian state government said on Wednesday. 

Warne died at the age of 52 on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui on Friday. His body is to be repatriated. An autopsy found he had died of natural causes following a reported heart attack. A state funeral for the legendary leg-spinner will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with tickets open to the public, said a statement by the Victorian government. Warne “didn’t just inspire a cricketing generation—he defined it,” it said.
