New Delhi: Before his sudden death at the age of 52, legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne had slammed the Russian invasion of Ukraine, calling it unprovoked and unjustified. He had also tagged his friend and Ukrainian football manager, Andriy Shevchenko.

“The entire world is with the people of Ukraine as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. The pictures are horrific and I can’t believe more is not being done to stop this. Sending lots of love to my Ukrainian mate @jksheva7 and his family,” Warne had tweeted.

The legendary cricketer died on Friday of a suspected heart attack at a villa in Thailand.” Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” a statement read. “The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”Shane Warne, regarded as one of the greatest-ever bowlers in the history of the sport, picked up 708 wickets in 145 Tests in a career spanning over 15 years. He was a part of the World Cup-winning Australian team of 1999.
