Former Australian skipper Michael Clarke is all set to make a return to the shortest-format of the cricket with this month's Hong Kong T20 Blitz domestic tournament.

Despite not picking up a bat for months, the 34-year-old said that he is feeling absolutely fit at the moment and is looking forward to the challenge ahead.

Admitting that he had certainly missed a part of the game, Clarke said that he did not focus on T20 cricket throughout his career and that the Hong Kong tournament would provide him with a great opportunity to play the game.

Clarke, however, ruled out any chances of his possible return to the other formats of the game or international cricket.

 

Clarke, who retired from all forms of cricket following the disastrous Ashes series in England last August, had last played in a Sydney club game in February.

Clarke, who guided Australia to their fifth World Cup triumph last year, will join former Western Australia glove man Ryan Campbell over the weekend in the two-day Hong Kong T20 Blitz tournament.
