Clarke, who is flying home tonight to get treatment on his back injury after being ruled out of the final Test against India here, is considering taking part in the IPL starting April 3.
A report in the 'Australian' said that Clarke has been under pressure to captain Pune Warriors franchise with the owners keen for him to take over the job after Yuvraj Singh expressed reluctance to lead the side.

Clarke was bought at IPL auction earlier this year by the Pune Warriors for UISD 400,000.
