Australia captain Michael Clarke has been suspected of incurring a hamstring strain as he limped off Adelaide Oval on the fifth day of the first Test against India, raising concerns of his participation for the Brisbane Test.
The skipper was seen clutching his right hamstring in the 44th over as he was accompanied by the team physio Alex Kountouris off the field, News.com.au reported.
