Earlier this year, Clarke sent fans into a spin when commentating on the Pakistan Super League.

He posted several photos of himself on Instagram during the tournament and looked completely transformed.

Clarke has publicly battled skin cancer over the years but in the images he shared his skin seemed shiny, new and radiant.

His hair has was trimmed, dyed with blonde tips, and the little spikes — a look that he experimented with at the start of the 21st century — had returned.

He also appeared to have shredded a few kilos.

Such was the transformation, it forced AFL great Garry Lyon to comment on radio.

“By jingoes … maybe it was a bad photo. It looked like he’d had a bit of touch-up,” Lyon said.

“His hair was like silver and his face looked like a landing strip. Smooth. His face didn’t have a crease or crinkle on it anywhere.”

Clarke and his love life hit the headlines at the start of 2023 when a video of his infamous fight with Yarbrough while on holidays in Noosa alongside Karl Stefanovic went viral.

The footage from a public park in Noosa showed the cricket great being slapped by Yarbrough, before he unleashed a verbal spray at Stefanovic.

Stefanovic is married to Yarbrough’s sister, Jasmine.

Clarke was also seen injuring his problematic hamstring during the incident. At the time he denied claims he had cheated on Yarbrough with his former partner, P.E Nation designer Pip Edwards.

He later said that he accepted “full responsibility” for the altercation and he was “shattered” by his actions.

It was not the first time Clarke and his love life made the news.

When he was captain of Australia, he famously dated, and became engaged to, Aussie model Lara Bingle.

When that relationship was at the end in 2010, Clarke came under fire for leaving his team and flying home during a Test series against New Zealand.
