One of the most respected cricketers of the modern era, Michael Clarke is an incredibly successful captain, who led his team to the World Cup 2015 Championship. His lack of power-hitting abilities in T20s led to his retirement from the format. Clarke announced his retirement from T20s in January 2011 to concentrate on the longer forms of the game.
When Ricky Ponting stood down from the captaincy of the Australian Test and ODI sides after the 2011 World Cup, Clarke was appointed as his permanent replacement in both roles. He was named Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for the year 2012.
