‘End of an era’: Cricket fraternity reacts to Shane Warne’s death

Australia’s former cricketer Shane Warne’s death, cricketers and fans from all over the world started expressing their grief and sadness over his demise.

The 52-year-old cricketer — who died of a suspected heart attack — represented his team from 1992 to 2007.

Star player Shahid Afridi said he was “inspired by Warne’s bowling from the start of his career.”

The game of cricket has lost what I consider a university of leg-spin bowling today. I was inspired by his bowling from the start of my career and it was always a privilege to play against him. My deepest condolences are with Warne’s family and loved ones. #ShaneWarne

The team will play in the forthcoming Tri-Nation Series on behalf of Pakistan as well. Pakistan’s Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand is scheduled on February 19 in Karachi. The final announcement is anticipated within a few days after the squad list was submitted to Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the PCB, for approval.

Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha, Khushdil Shah, Kamran Ghulam, Abrar Ahmed, Sufiyan Maqeem, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are players on the final squad. Additionally, Tayyab Tahir, Abbas Afridi, and Mohammad Hasnain might be added.

Saim Ayub is anticipated to be replaced by Khushdil Shah, an in-form batter who made an impression in the Bangladesh Premier League, according to reports.

There is little chance that Shan Masood will make the Champions Trophy team, but Imam-ul-Haq has a good chance.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received a warning from the International Cricket Council about its unwillingness to include the logo of Pakistan on the trophy kits of its winning team.

The International Cricket Council has given a strong message to the Indian board on this, according to Indian NDTV.

As part of its host nation policy, the Indian board claimed that it was not interested in having Pakistan’s name appear on their team uniform. However, the ICC rejected this claim.

In reality, the ICC has urged the Indian board to clarify that, since the country was the tournament’s original host, the Indian squad must have “Pakistan” printed on their uniform.
