Published on 28 November 2024

Shane Warne, the iconic Australian cricketer, is being commemorated through a special edition of the popular board game Monopoly. Released as a collaboration between the Warne family and Winning Moves Australia, the “Shane Warne Monopoly” offers fans a unique way to celebrate the late cricketing legend’s life and career.

The game features locations and moments significant to Warne, including the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and his debut Test match against India in 1992. Instead of the traditional Monopoly properties, players can purchase cricket-related landmarks, with elements of Warne’s life woven into the gameplay. The board also highlights his achievements as one of cricket’s greatest bowlers and showcases personal milestones, such as his philanthropic work and enduring impact on Australian sport.

This edition aims to resonate with cricket fans and collectors while continuing Warne’s legacy. A portion of the proceeds will reportedly go to the Shane Warne Foundation, which was relaunched in 2022 to support underprivileged children, further cementing his reputation as a figure of generosity and influence beyond the cricket field.

“Shane Warne Monopoly” is available for purchase nationwide, appealing to both cricket enthusiasts and those seeking a unique piece of sports histor.
