I may never play again: Clarke
Adelaide, Dec 13 (IBNS) A day when Australia defeated India to win the first Test of the series, injured Australian skipper Michael Clarke on Saturday said that he may never play again after chronic back and hamstring problems troubled him during the match.
Speaking to media, Clarke said : "There's a chance I could never play again."
Even after retiring hurt, Clarke returned to the crease in the first innings of the match to score a gutsy 128 runs.
Australia defeated India by 48 runs to go up 1-0 in the series.
