Melbourne, May 25 (AP) Cricket Australia says former test bowler Terry Jenner, who helped coach Shane Warne to a once world-record number of test wickets, has died at the age of 66.
Jenner played nine tests in the 1970s and later coached Australian spin bowlers including Warne, who retired from all forms of cricket 10 days ago after completing his stint with the Rajasthan Royals in the India Premier League.
Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young said Jenner died today morning. Jenner's wife, Ann, said in a blog that her husband had suffered a heart attack six weeks ago, and other reports said he had suffered from a lengthy illness.
"We were saddened to be advised that Terry has passed away this morning," Young said. "He was a significant mentor of later generations including Shane Warne.
