England Ashes hero Monty Panesar offers himself to Saturday league cricket teams at 36
The former Test spin king has been out of the professional game since being let go by Northamptonshire in 2016
FORMER England Ashes hero Monty Panesar has offered himself to every single Saturday league cricket team, at the age of 36.
The one-time Test spin king has been out of the professional game since being let go by Northamptonshire in 2016 and is on the hunt for a new team.
Panesar took 167 wickets in 50 Test for England, including an impressive 12 five-wicket hauls.
Despite his illustrious career, he has been forced to plead for a team on Twitter as he is currently without a team with just weeks to go until the new season.
In a post on social media, Panesar wrote: "Hi guys. I am still open to offers for Saturday League cricket this season.
"Please contact Clive at Shooting Stars Management to discuss. 07942864896".
IN A SPIN
Last season, Panesar played for Essex league side Hornchurch - but was still hoping to make his way in the professional game.
In August, the left-arm spinner sent letters to all 18 first-class counties in a bid to secure a spot in the County Championship.
At the time, Panesar claimed: "I'm hoping that one of the county coaches can give me a go - give me a net, give me a trial.
"I still have huge ambitions to play in the professional game."
MOST READ IN CRICKET
Panesar spent eight years between 2001 and 2009 at Northants, before joining Sussex in 2010 - where he stayed for a further three years.
The ex-England man then joined Essex - but was let go after urinating on a nightclub bouncer.
Northants then brought Panesar back to his former home, but he failed to make much of an impact before turning his hand to club league cricket.
