Swysh donates 20 per cent of the purchase price of their videos to children’s charities. 

‘It allows me to be closer to my fans,’ the former Australian cricket captain told The Daily Telegraph this week.

‘Gone are the days of sitting in a chair for hours signing autographs, everything is online now. For fan engagement, it is no difference. I used to sit and sign autographs, now 24/7 you can connect with a fan.’

Clarke added that it was now an opportunity for him to ‘give that time back to the fans’.
