Cronk cleared to play Origin I

Queensland halfback Cooper Cronk has overcome an ankle injury and been cleared to play Wednesday night's State of Origin opener in Sydney.

Maroons assistant Anthony Seibold confirmed that Cronk would take his place in the Queensland side, five days after rolling his ankle at training at their Gold Coast camp.

"He trained really well last night. I can confirm he is going to start tonight," Seibold said.
