Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has announced that he will play in this month's Hong Kong T20 Blitz tournament with Kowloon Cantons.
Reflecting on his decision, Clarke said he was eagerly waiting to meet his teammates and experience the city, while expressing hope that he could contribute to the game of cricket in Hong Kong which has been coming on leaps and bounds in recent years, Sport24 reported.
The 34-year-old, who retired from all forms of cricket following the disastrous Ashes series in England last August, returned to action in a Sydney club game in February.
Clarke, who guided Australia to their fifth World Cup triumph last year, had previously suggested that he might consider playing in lucrative Twenty20 competitions such as BBL and the Indian Premier League.
The four-team tournament is a two-day event running over May 28-29.
