Former England captain Nasser Hussain has delivered a touching tribute to Shane Warne ahead of his state funeral on Wednesday.
Warne tragically passed away earlier this month at the age of just 52 after suffering a heart attack while on holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand. Hussain will be in attendance for Warne's memorial service at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, having made the trip over from New Zealand where he has been working on the Women's Cricket World Cup.
Speaking ahead of the memorial, Hussain lauded Warne as a "genius" and said he felt "honoured" to have been asked to go on stage and speak about him during the service. "It was only a month or so ago we were chatting to him on The Cricket Show and he was his usual larger than life self," Hussain told Sky Sports.
