Shane and Simone tied the knot in 1999 and were married for six years before divorcing in 2005.
Tragically, Shane died from a heart attack on March 4, 2022 while on holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand.
Thai police said he was staying in the villa with four friends, and when one of the group tried to wake Shane for food at around 5pm local time he was found to be unresponsive.
Shane’s manager separately confirmed his death, saying the father-of-three could not be revived.
He is considered one of the finest cricketers in history after claiming 708 Test wickets at 25.41 in 145 matches between 1992 and 2007.
