Big decision of Cricket AUS
Heart touching Gesture from Cricket Australia for Shane Warne
The Boxing Day Test at the MCG was the first Test game played at “The King’s” beloved stadium since his shocking passing in March, and the announcement of the award’s renaming took place at the same time. After a remarkable year that included a record 40 wickets in the renowned 2005 Ashes series in England, Warne himself only received the honour once, in 2006. Let us look at the Big decision of Cricket AUS in detail.
Australia’s men’s Test Player of the Year award will be renamed in honor of the late, great Shane Warne. This is the second most prestigious prize for men after Allan Border Medal, while the Shane Warne Men’s Test Player of the Year award is given yearly at the Australian Cricket Awards.
When did the announcement come out?
All this was started before the start of the boxing day test, Warne’s Test cap number 350 will be painted square of the wicket, and both the Australian and South African teams will wear floppy white caps in his honor during the playing of the national song.
The news was revealed on the first day of the Boxing Day Test at Warne’s home ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where he amassed several notable accomplishments, including an Ashes hat-trick and his 700th Test wicket.
Honored for the first time after his death at MCG

For the duration of the Test game, his name and the number 350 of the Australian Test cap will be painted on the MCG outfield.
