professed their admiration for Warne.[227]

The Sri Lankan men's cricket team and the Indian men's cricket team wore black armbands to
commemorate Warne on the second day of the first Test, India vs. Sri Lanka, and both teams
observed a minute of silence before the day's play. The Australian women's cricket team wore
black armbands as well to commemorate Warne in their first 2022 Women's Cricket World
Cup game against England. Australia's Alana King, also a leg-spin bowler, said that Warne was
"an idol & the biggest inspiration to me" on Twitter before Australia's World Cup match.[228] A
similar tribute was held by the Australian men's cricket team on the second day of the first Test
vs. Pakistan, and both teams observed a minute of silence before the day's play,[229] as did
the Bangladeshi men's cricket team and the Afghan men's cricket team in the 2nd T20I of
Afghanistan's tour of Bangladesh. St Kilda's AFL and AFLW sides did likewise during their
respective matches against Essendon and Geelong. The England cricket team and West Indies
team also held a minute's silence.[230][231][232]
