Michael Clarke ruled out of IPL 6th Season

by Chaitanya on Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

Australian captain Michael Clarke will miss Indian Premier League Sixth Season because of his chronic back injury that forced him to sit out the fourth Test against India.

According to reports, Clarke was being pressured to lead the Pune Warriors India- a move that would see his pay skyrocket to as much as USD 2 million! Clarke will be out of action for at least seven to 10 weeks. The IPL is scheduled between April 3 to May 26.

Cricket Australia Chief Medical Officer Justin Paoloni said: “Clarke had scans that confirmed his current lower back injury is an exacerbation of previous issues he has had with his spine. As always, we need to manage this carefully as there are potentially serious consequences with further aggravation. He still has pain with basic activities and is not back to full function as yet”.


Justin Paoloni added: “He also has a hamstring injury that has been a concern for most of the summer and will complicate his return. Michael is having intensive rehabilitation for both his back and hamstring but is still 7-10 weeks away from returning to training and playing. We are confident that it will not affect his Ashes preparation but will know more over the coming weeks”.

Michael Clarke’s intensive rehabilitation program will be overseen by the CA medical team and back specialists in Australia.
