Sam Newman chatted to Jackson Warne about The Shane Warne Legacy that will be officially launched at the Boxing Day Test 2023 with fans able to complete a free four-minute heart test at 23 locations around the MCG.
“Shane would have encouraged everyone to ‘have a crack’ and complete this simple screening and awareness test. Who knows; it could help save your life.”
The medical grade tests focus on cardiovascular health measuring things including blood pressure, heart rate, diabetes risk and body mass index which can be viewed on a screen during and immediately after the test.
