Shane Warne has been posthumously appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia as part of the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Warne, who tragically passed away at the age of just 52 in March after suffering a heart attack while on holiday in Thailand, was honoured for "distinguished service to cricket as a player, role model and commentator, to the community through charitable initiatives, and for philanthropic contributions".
During an illustrious playing career, Warne took 1,001 Test and ODI wickets for Australia, helping them dominate the Ashes and win the World Cup in 1999.
