The Australian captain is currently injured and recently was given the date of 21st February to prove his fitness for the 2015 World cup. He has been injured since the 2nd test between Australia and India and at 33, has admitted that it will be difficult for him to continue playing at the highest level with his back and hamstring injuries ailing him in last 3-4 years.

Michael Clarke debuted for Australia in 2003 against Ne Zealand and then impressed the cricketing world with a debut test century against India, and has been a prolific One Day player since his debut. Clarke has manage to accumulate 7000 plus runs without the usual big hitting that is associated with the format. He averages almost 45 with 8 centuries to his name. He also has been the backbone of the Australian middle order along with George Bailey in recent times. Australia has named him the captain of the side with George Bailey as his deputy. It is likely, that Clarke will be available to play only the second half of the tournament.

Granted that he recovers from the injury and plays, this will likely be his final hurrah in the limited overs format for Australia.
