Spin legend Shane Warne says he's willing to help out Cricket Australia and questions why more of his former international teammates haven't been appointed as consultants.
The upheaval at CA continued to unfold this week, with executives Pat Howard and Ben Amarfio the latest powerful figures to depart the governing body.
In his column for the Herald Sun, Warne reckons the experienced of retired Test players should be used more to help bring through the next crop of Aussie talent.
"I put my hand up to Pat Howard a few times, told him I was available if they needed me," Warne wrote.
"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?"
Warne said "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?" he wrote.
"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."
