Legendary leg spinner Shane Warne is hoping to play a big part in creating an Australian spin dynasty by considering a job with Cricket Board to nurture next generation spinners.
The world's most successful Test bowler, who has a contract with English county Hampshire and is also expected to play in Indian Premier League in April, has been talking to CA's Operation Manager Michael Brown since his return from Britain last week.
"I am speaking to Cricket Australia at the moment about how we can best utilise my skills and my experiences of game and how we can get around to all states and help other spinners, talk to captains," Warne said.
"We're just working out best way to do it, with time restraints as well, in season, out of season, all that stuff. Hopefully I can play a big part," the 38-year-old Warne said.
CA is aiming to strike agreement with Warne for coming season although details of the position are yet to be completed.
"We would bite like a starving snapper if there was an opportunity to have him involved," said CA spokesman Peter Young.
"He is passionate about Australian cricket and wants to put something back into Australian cricket. He has a remarkable cricket brain and what is really exciting, above all, is what he might do for slow bowlers. It's an exciting possibility, but it's early days" Young said.
