Retired cricket Test captain Michael Clarke today offered to play for Australia for free to help the team recover after the downfall of his successor Steve Smith over a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
Smith and vice-captain David Warner were stripped of their leadership roles and banned from the sport for one year after a plot to alter the balls condition during the third Test in March.
"I would do anything to help the Australian cricket team," the 37-year-old told Sydney's Sunday Telegraph.
"Age is age. Is 17 too young? Ive never cared about age. Brad Hogg played at 45. I don't think it's about a number. I think it's about commitment and devotion.
"It's like getting back on a bike. I'm as fit and healthy as I've ever been. The time away has been great for my body."
"Ive got the experience to help these young players and that's where our focus should be right now until the other guys come back."
