AUSTRALIA leg-spinning great Shane Warne is to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame during the second Ashes Test.
Warne, credited with reviving interest in leg-spin outside Asia, was the first bowler to take 700 Test wickets and represented Australia in 145 Tests between 1992 and 2007. In all he took 708 Test wickets at an average of 25.41.
The ceremony will take place during the tea interval of the second day of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord's on July 19.

Warne also took 293 wickets in 194 one-day internationals at an average of 25.73 and was a member of the Australia side that beat Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup final at Lord's where his teammates included fellow Hall of Famers Glenn McGrath and Steve Waugh.
His return in the final of 4-33 in nine overs saw Warne named man-of-the-match.
"I'm very honoured and proud to be announced as an inductee into the ICC Hall of Fame later this month and I'd like to thank the voting academy very much for even considering me,'' said Warne, currently in England working as a TV commentator during the ongoing Ashes series.
"I'm looking forward to celebrating my induction with my friends and family in front of the crowd at Lord's during the second Ashes Test.''
His tally of 3,154 Test runs is the most by any player without making a hundred.
Warne is the 69th male member of the Hall of Fame and the 18th from Australia.
