Since the ball-tampering incident happened in this March during the Cape Town Test, the Australian cricket has faced a massive downfall in the international level. The main reason for their present cricket status is the unavailability of experienced players in the national squad. While Steven Smith and David Warner both have been suspended for one-year due to involving in the ball-tampering incident, the experienced pacers like Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins have just returned to the national squad after recovering from their respective fitness issues.

Moreover, the insider situation is more concerning as some important long-time CA members have been stepping down from their roles in very recent times.

Observing the present situation, the legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne wrote in his recent column for The Herald Sun, “I put my hand up to Pat Howard a few times, told him I was available if they needed me. I’ve always been happy to get involved in any role if Cricket Australia thought I could help the team. I’m sure all the ex-players would be the same.”

“We’ve got a lot of spinners coming through who I’ve helped in an informal role and I’m more than happy to help in a formal basis if required. Why not ask Glenn McGrath, offer him a contract to help with the fast bowlers?”

The 49-year-old has claimed that Australia has no shortage of talented cricketers but the right people need to be involved and the right environment has been needed to provide the players.

Warne added, “We just think we are going to produce cricketers, but that wouldn’t happen until the right people were involved and the right environment was put in place. Everyone is jumping on the players because they are not performing but we have to take a step back and ask why? Are they good enough? The talent in Australia is good. It comes back to how they are being taught to play, more importantly the style they are being taught to play.”
