Shane Warne Had Decided To Tave Three Months Off: Manager James Erskine

During a conversation with Fox Cricket, Warne’s manager James Erskine opened up about the tragic moments before the former’s death. He said that Warne wanted to have three months break so he went to Thailand on a vacation.

“Shane had sort of decided he was going to have three months off and in fact he wanted a year off, and I said ‘there’s no way you can have a year off, they would’ve forgotten you by a year,’ so he decided to have three months off”, James Erskine said.

Erskine also revealed that Warne was about to go out for a drink in the evening when his friend found him lying on the floor in his room.

“I got a phone call at 10.37 last night from our guy in Melbourne called Andrew Neophitou, who was actually with Shane in Thailand. They had only arrived the night before. They were going to go out for a drink at 5 o’clock, and (Neophitou) knocked on his door at 5.15pm because Warnie was always on time and said ‘come on you’re going to be late’ and then realised something was wrong”.

“And he turned him over and gave him CPR and mouth to mouth, which lasted about 20 minutes and then the ambulance came. They took him to the hospital, which was about a 20-minute drive and I got a phone call about 45 minutes later saying he was pronounced dead,” Erskine further said.
