Australia captain Clarke to quit ODIs after World Cup final
Australia captain Michael Clarke will quit one-day international cricket after Sunday’s World Cup final against New Zealand, bringing the curtain down on a 12-year career.
“I think it’s the right time for me and the Australian cricket team,” the 33-year-old Clarke told reporters.
“I made the decision 48 hours ago when I asked myself if I thought I would be playing in the next World Cup and I said to myself that I don’t think I will be.”
Clarke has played 244 one-day internationals, scoring 7,907 runs with a highest score of 130. He intends to keep playing Tests having already played 108 matches with 8,432 runs and a highest score of 329 not out.
