Former Australian skipper Michael Clarke has announced that he will be making a comeback to the gentleman’s game. Clarke had recently retired from all forms of cricket. Clarke will represent Western Suburbs, New South Wales grade cricket club. His first match will be against Randwick-Petersham scheduled for February 20. On the same day, Australia and New Zealand will square-off in the second Test match.
“To step away from cricket for four months has been great, I have found my body has enjoyed it and my mind has really enjoyed it too,” he was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph.
Clarke said: “At the same time I’ve realised the game of cricket is in my blood. I’ve been looking for an outlet to replace what I’ve chosen to walk away from.”
The 34-year-old right-handed batsman added: “So I’ll start with playing this grade game for Western Suburbs and see if I miss it as much as I feel like I’m going to. If I do, the option is there to train the entire winter and then we’ll see what happens. “There’s BBL next summer, I’d love to be a part of that, IPL, county cricket.”
