Iconic cricketer Shane Warne is set to be posthumously awarded one of Australia’s greatest honours in the next Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
The decision to award Warne with the Order of Australia will mean he is inducted in the official pantheon of the nation’s most notable achievements by its greatest citizens.
Appointments in the Order of Australia are traditionally not awarded posthumously, but if a candidate is put forward before his or her death their nomination can still be considered.
