Australian-born batsman Stuart Law has offered his services as a batting adviser to England for the forthcoming Ashes series.
Law has had a long association in county cricket with Essex and Lancashire and qualified as a British citizen last year.
He has had extensive experience in Australia as well and captained Queensland to three successive state championships during a career from 1988/89-2003/04. He played one Test for Australia and also played 54 one-day internationals.
In his 338-match first-class career, Law has scored 25,060 runs at 50.83 and has hit 75 centuries.
"I might have mentioned it jokingly to Andrew Flintoff, but I said it with an amount of truth," Law told BBC Sport.
"If they need a hand or want a conversation, I'm only a call away.
"I would not be going out there to antagonise the Australians in any way, shape or form.
"I have no axe to grind, I would be there purely to help out the England players who don't have that much experience playing cricket in Australia," he said.
Law said there was potential for a personality clash with England coach Duncan Fletcher because they are totally different characters.
"I've played enough cricket in Australian conditions, I would love to be able to help out if I can," he said.
Law said he didn't think the move would be appreciated by the Australian camp.
"The captain and the coach would not take it too well," he said.
