Lahore: Pakistani cricketers paid tribute to legendary cricketer Shane Warne over his shocking demise. He has died of a suspected heart attack aged 52. Warne’s management said the retired leg-spinner died in Koh Samui, Thailand.
Warne was credited with reviving the art of leg-spin and during a brilliant 15-year career he took 708 Test wickets, a tally surpassed only by Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who took 800.
Pakistan’s cricketers reacted after Warne’s shocking demise.
Find it hard to believe. Such a devastating loss for the cricket world. He literally inspired generations with his magical leg spin. You'll forever be missed #ShaneWarne. My heart and prayers goes to his family, friends, and fans. #legend pic.twitter.com/pigrD785gC

To the greatest legspinner of all time= Shane Warne. The reason I started bowling legspin. Rest in power. There will be none like you. Few people have the power to inspire generations, you are the reason so many of us started bowling legspin. #Legend @ShaneWarne pic.twitter.com/iYPdAwYS7Q
