Michael Clarke Interested for an IPL Stint

Michael Clarke, the Australian T20 Captain is desperate to improve his Twenty20 skills and is seriously considering taking part in the IPL for the first time next season. Clarke who has never taken part in IPL is now interested in the Indian T20 Carnival to boost his skills in the shortest format of the game.

Clarke each year weighs up a decision between making more money or having a holiday and felt that spending extra time at home in Sydney a more viable option. He has never enjoyed  a smooth relationship with Lalit Modi, the former IPL commissioner, but with Modi now gone Clarke is more open to be a part of the T20 tournament then ever before.

Michael Clarke said in the Sunday Telegraph,"If my body feels great and I'm confident I can go out and play those six weeks of the IPL, I'll put myself in the auction."

Clarke feels that IPL has helped develop players not only for the T20 format but for the overall game.
