Lord's rename Sky commentary box after Shane Warne ahead of international summer

The Sky commentary box at Lords has been renamed after Australian cricket great Shane Warne after he passed away in March. Warne was found dead in a villa in Thailand, with a post-mortem confirming he died of natural causes.

The leg-spinner enjoyed a remarkably successful career for his native Australia, becoming the second most successful bowler in Test cricket after taking 708 wickets across 15 years. Following success on the pitch the Aussie star also strived off it, becoming one of the most recognised commentators in the sport.

Warne often featured as part of the Sky Sports commentary team alongside a number of his old rivals, including Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain.
