“In a statement, his management team said: “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived.”
“The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.
Warne won the cricket world Cup with Australia in 1999 and remains the second-highest wicket taker in test match history, with 708.
He is widely viewed as one of the best spinners to have ever played the game.
He won the Ashes five times between 1993 and 2003.
