Michael Clarke, an Australian cricketer, suffered from a hamstring injury. He wished to be fit by the World Cup campaign for Australia but has admitted that there was a chance that he "may" never play again.

According to ABC News, Clarke, the Australian team captain, has been replaced by Shaun Marsh as captain for the second test against India in Brisbane. He would also be missing the remaining of the four-Test series.

Initially, Clarke was expected to miss the first Test, but he battled a hamstring injury to make sure he captained the team. But during the first innings of Australia at the match, he had a back problem. On Dec 13, he returned to the field, scored a century, but injured his opposite hamstring while he was fielding.

Clarke said that he had no regrets playing the match because of the significance after the death of teammate Phillip Hughes. He said that he did not have one regret and that it was the most important Test match of his career. He added that he had no regrets about going back to the field after he retired hurt and that "the rest will take care of itself."

On Dec. 13, during the final day of play of the first Test in Adelaide, Clarke was seen limping from the Adelaide Oval. He was sent in for scan. He said that the scans were not great, and it showed a tear. He added that the experts were looking at the scans and that he was pretty confident that he wouldn't be taking part in the four-Test series against India.

Clarke said that he did not know how long he would not be playing. He also said that there was no doubt he may never play again. He said that he had to be realistic, and he hopes that the chance of him never playing again won't come. He said that he'd be doing all that he could in his power to get back on the field.
