It comes days after Warne’s grieving family issued a harrowing statement about the athlete’s untimely death, describing their loss as a ‘never-ending nightmare’.
‘The night of the 4th of March 2022 is when a never-ending nightmare began for our family, for that is the date we lost our much loved and admired son, father, brother and Uncle, Shane Keith Warne’ a tragedy we will never come to terms with,’ it read.
‘To find words to adequately express our sadness is an impossible task for us and looking to a future without Shane is inconceivable, hopefully the mountain of happy memories we all have will help us cope with our ongoing grief. ‘

Warne’s eldest daughter Brooke, 24, vowed to always cherish their final memories together laughing and joking around with each other.
‘We were so similar in so many ways and I always used to joke that I got your genes and about how much that annoyed me!,’ she said.
‘Well now I couldn’t be happier and prouder that I have your genes. I am lucky and will forever be so proud to call you my Dad forever. I love you to infinity and back and I will miss you forever.’

Warne’s son Jackson, 23, doesn’t think anything will fill the void left in his broken heart.
‘Sitting at the poker table, walking around the golf course, watching the Saints and eating pizza is never going to be the same,’ he said.
‘But I know all you ever wanted for me is to be happy, no matter what. You just wanted me to be happy, that’s it.

‘So that’s what I’m going to do, try and be happy. I am going to miss you so much Dad and you were truly the best father and mate anyone could’ve asked for.’
Warne’s youngest daughter Summer, 20, described him as the best dad anyone could ask for as she recalled their time together
‘I wish I could’ve told you that everything was going to be okay and hold your hand. You are the best Dad someone could ever ask for, ‘ she said.
‘Our time was robbed. I want more holidays with you, more laughs where your smile lights up the whole room, more ‘goodnight I love you SJ, I’ll see you in the morning’, more talks about how our days were and just to feel safe when you would hug me and you would let me know how proud you are of me and how much you love me.
‘You haven’t died Dad, you’ve just moved to a different place, and that is in our heart.

‘The world has lost someone extremely special to them, who has made a positive influence on their lives and it is incredibly touching to see the outflow of emotion and the amazing tributes to him by friends, teammates, opponents and media,’ he said.
‘Personally, I have lost my nemesis in all sports as a child, the person who smeared vegemite under my nose while he pinned me down giving me the typewriter, my big brother, my mate.
‘Life will forever have a massive hole in it. I will miss our fierce competition on the golf course, poker table and the sledging, seeing who could put the other on tilt first.’
Warne’s body will be flown home to Australia on Tuesday.
The family have accepted an offer from the Victorian government and Prime Minister Scott Morrison of a state funeral for Warne.
A private funeral will be held for the family ahead of the state funeral which will be attended up to 100,000 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
