"His place as a legend of Australian and world sport is assured.
"Whilst we continue to mourn his passing, it is fitting that we honour Shane at his beloved Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
"I know I speak for the whole cricket community in saying that our thoughts continue to be with Shane's family and friends and particularly his children Brooke, Jackson and Summer."
Warne conjured many iconic moments at the MCG during his 145-Test career for Australia, including a hat-trick at the venue in 1994 and the dismissal of his 700th career wicket in 2006.
