Former England all-rounder Chris Lewis, who was released from prison on Tuesday, has said that "wrong choices" led to him being jailed for cocaine smuggling.

Lewis, who represented England 32 times at the Test level, was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 13 years in prison.

He said money concerns in 2008 had led to him attempting to smuggle 140,000 pounds worth of dissolved cocaine into the UK.

Lewis added he would be completely happy to work with the Professional Cricketers Association (PCA) to help prevent young cricketers from making wrong choices.
