It is expected that Warne’s family will hold a private memorial service for the 52-year-old this week, with statewide mourning set for March 30 at the MCG. Andrews has previously mentioned that public service would give the state and the citizens an opportunity to pay tribute to the spin wizard.
“It will be an opportunity for Victorians to pay tribute to his contribution to his sport, to our state and the country,” he said.
Andrews was also quick to announce that the Great Southern Stand at the MCG will be renamed in Warne’s honour.
“I’ve just informed the Warne family that the government will rename the Great Southern Stand at the MCG.”
