West Indies batting great Brian Lara is prepared to come in from the cold and join other Caribbean cricket legends in rescuing the game in the region ahead of the winter tour of Australia.
Lara admits he is happy not to be involved in the current set-up following years of poor on-field results and off-field controversy, including a recent players' strike that has only just been resolved.
"I am not pushing myself on anyone and I've not been asked but I believe it's a fait accompli that the likes of Sir Vivian Richards or Gordon Greenidge (or myself)... we all have to play a significant part in West Indies cricket in the near future," said Lara.
The once powerful Windies look set to arrive Down Under in disarray , but the 40-year-old is willing to play his part in dragging their game back to its feet.
"Not much other than encouraging the guys," Lara said when asked on radio 2UE what his involvement in West Indies cricket was.
"There is so much wrong with it at the moment that I'm very happy that I'm not in there causing some of the problems.
