It was the sport that shaped Shane Warne’s life; cricket.
But nine months on from his passing, the game of cricket is causing pain to his three children.
Speaking to 7 News, Warne’s offspring has revealed that they struggle to watch the sport now that their dad is no longer with us.
‘When I’m listening to cricket it’s… that missing voice I can’t hear anymore,’ Shane’s 23-year-old son Jackson told 7 News.

Youngest daughter, 21-year-old Summer agreed with her brother, adding: ‘Cricket was his sport and it doesn’t feel right without him there.’
The three lost their dad on March 4 this year when he suffered a heart attack whilst holidaying in Thailand.
Known to be close with his children, it’s obvious that Shane’s passing has been an immense loss to Brooke (25), Jackson and Summer.
‘It’s probably been the hardest nine months of my life so far. I miss him every day,’ Summer said.
