Details of Shane Warne’s funeral have been announced with a state memorial service to be held on March 30 at the former Australia leg-spinner’s beloved Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Warne, who died last Friday aged 52 following a suspected heart attack, has a rich history at his home venue with a memorable Ashes hat-trick in 1994, while he collected his 700th Test wicket there in the 2006 Boxing Day Test.
