Tributes have since poured in across the world from celebrities like Mick Jagger and Ed Sheeran to former and current cricket stars including Ponting who were all close with Warne.
Ponting, who spent much of his playing career alongside Warne, said the tributes to the champion spinner over the past few days have been hard to watch."I've had the television on this morning watching a lot of the tributes to him, but any time I hear his voice, I have to turn it off," said Ponting as he fought back tears when speaking on an ICC podcast.
Asked if there was something he could say to him right now, Ponting replied: "As I've said to a lot of the guys I've been talking to over the last couple of days, just how much I love him."The former Australian skipper said it's his responsibility, as well as current and former players to continue on Warne's legacy.
"I've known him for a long time and understood him pretty well, It's up to me now whenever I get an opportunity to let the world know what he was all about and what he was like.For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
