Darren Berry honours commitment to late Shane Warne in touching message to cricket great

Former Australian first-class cricketer Darren Berry has sent a heartbreaking message about the late, great Shane Warne as he prepares to join the London Spirit's coaching staff ahead of this year's edition of The Hundred.

Warne was the London Spirit's head coach and had appointed close friend Berry as one of his assistant coaches for the upcoming season. However, Warne tragically passed away in March at the age of just 52 after suffering a heart attack and former England coach Trevor Bayliss has replaced him on an interim basis.

Berry will work alongside Bayliss as an assistant coach, having sent an emotional message on social media about wanting to "honour my commitment to my late great mate Shane Warne". Berry posted a picture of himself and Warne and a picture of him on his flight to the UK.
