CRICKET NEWS - Retired cricket test captain Michael Clarke on Sunday 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 ball's 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.
