County cricket pays tribute to Shane Warne as fans invited on to pitch at Hampshire

The late, great Shane Warne spent seven years in county cricket, representing Hampshire between 2000 and 2007.

Warne captained the county for three seasons and played his final first-class and List A matches for them, getting a stand named after him at the Ageas Bowl following his retirement. He tragically passed away last month at the age of just 52 after suffering a heart attack while on holiday in Thailand.

And Hampshire paid tribute to their former captain during their first match of the new County Championship season. During the lunch break of their game against Somerset, Hampshire invited fans onto the pitch to watch a video focusing on his time at the club.
