Michael Clarke denies comeback rumours; but wants to help Australia in any possible way

Australian cricket is going through a difficult phase. After the ball-tampering scandal broke out, there were all kinds of suggestions and criticisms from former players. Steve Smith and David Warner were banned for one year for taking part in the ball-tampering while Cameron Bancroft who tampered with the ball was handed out a nine-month suspension. Smith and Bancroft will not be eligible to captain the side for the next two years while Warner will not be able to captain Australia ever in his life. 

Clarke had suggested that he can return and come out of retirement if would help Australia come out of this turmoil. In an extensive interview with News Corp, the 37-year-old had admitted that he would do anything to help the Australian cricket team.  

However, yesterday (April 7), he denied that he would be practising in India (where he is commentating in the IPL). He made it clear that he is not making a comeback (as of now) and it is completely out of control.  

Clarke retired in 2015 after Australia lost the Ashes in England and the 37-year-old hasn't played a competitive match since playing for Sydney in grade cricket in September 2016.
