"I could sit here and lie and say I don't think about it. The truth is I hope, I continue to get opportunities, whether it be one-day cricket, now with Twenty20 cricket or hopefully one day I get the chance to captain in Test cricket," The Daily Telegraph quoted Clarke, as saying. However, he said that captaincy is right now far away and he has absolutely no intention or desire to take over without Punter walking away.

"He is a fantastic captain, a good friend and is someone I have always looked up to. I would love for him to continue to play as long as he wants. If there's an opportunity after Ricky, I would love that - no doubt," he added.
