Warne was previously commemorated with the Shane Warne Stand at the MCG and a statue outside the ground, both unveiled after his unexpected death.

Previously, the stand was named after Fitzroy football legend Kevin Murray, but the Murray family supported the change to honor Warne, as the venue is now dedicated exclusively to cricket.

Despite being regarded as one of cricket's greats, Warne was never appointed captain of the Australian cricket team due to off-field issues.

Warne's father, Keith, expressed that Shane would be 'thrilled' to be forever linked to the St Kilda Cricket Club, where he played much of his early cricket.

Shane Warne, a legendary Australian cricketer, tragically passed away from a heart attack at the age of 52.

Keith emphasized that despite Shane's absence, his spirit would be felt during the unveiling ceremony, especially with many of his past Victorian teammates in attendance.

Coincidentally, David Warner's leadership ban ended on the same day that Shane Warne was honored with the grandstand naming in Melbourne.

In recognition of his immense contributions to the sport, a grandstand at the Junction Oval has been named in his honor, marking it as the new home of Victorian cricket.

Shane Warne's daughters, Brooke and Summer, attended the ceremony, with Brooke sharing her excitement and gratitude for the recognition of their father's legacy.
