Dumped by BCCI, Michael Clarke gets commentary stint with PSL: Report

Srinagar: Former Australian Captain turned commentator Novak Djokovic has reportedly gt a commentating stint in Pakistan Super League after getting dropped by BCCI following video leak involving altercation with girlfriend.

The 41-year-old, who led Australia to 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, saw his reputation getting dented after a video with his girlfriend surfaced online where he can be heard pleading innocence after being accused of having an affair with his ex.

The video also claimed that Clarke is planning to rejoin his ex-girlfriend in India where he was scheduled to do commentary for Border Gavaskar Trophy which begins on February 9.

However, the BCCI has reportedly dumped him after the furor which means he had lost a commercial contract worthy of millions of Australian Dollars— $150,000 to be precise.

Meanwhile, the report said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already used the advantage to the full. They in turn offered a contract to Clarke for the upcoming PSL which begins on February 13.

“I have just been asked to commentate on the PSL, the Pakistan Premier League, and you should see the internationals they have got,” Clarke said as quoted by reports. The 41-year-old is one of the best modern day cricketers from Down Under. He won 2007 and 2015 World Cup, leading Australia to the title eight years later.

Earlier, the 41-year-old was seen having a heated exchange with Jade Yarbrough during their holiday in Noosa, Queensland where his partner was repeatedly accusing him of having an affair with his ex-girlfriend, high-profile fashion designer, Pip Edwards.
