Michael Clarke has shocked fans by sharing a very different look to Instagram
The former Australian cricket captain, 42, shared an image pitch side at the Pakistan Super League tournament in which the retired athlete looked a far cry from usual self.
Clarke displayed a very taut visage and his greying locks were cut short and appeared to have been dyed blond.
The acclaimed batsman is in Pakistan to commentate on the country’s men’s Twenty20 cricket league.
He was joined in the booth by Erin Holland and former Pakistan women’s cricket captain Urooj Mumtaz Khan.
It comes after Clarke treated himself to some well-deserved ‘me time’ earlier this month, courtesy of his eight-year-old daughter, Kelsey Lee.
The cricket legend shared a sweet gallery of photos to Instagram, capturing precious moments as he indulged in a makeover session with his young daughter.
In one hilarious picture, Michael struck a pose for the camera while Kelsey expertly combed his hair, adding a touch of humor to the father-daughter bonding session.
Another charming moment showcased Michael sporting an LED mask, with Kelsey playfully holding a water spray near his face.
Prior to the pampering session, Clarke shared a photo of his sweat-soaked body, showcasing his anticipation for the relaxing beauty therapy.
The photos captured a relaxed and content looking Michael, thoroughly enjoying his weekend while strengthening his bond with his daughter.
In December, Michael reunited with his ex-wife Kyly for the festive season.
The couple, who split in 2019 after seven years of marriage, appeared together in a rare Instagram photo as they posed for a Santa photo with their daughter.
Kyly and Michael were previously pictured together in November when they reunited to celebrate Kelsey Lee’s eighth birthday at McDonald’s.
The Clarkes quietly split in September 2019 after seven years of marriage, but did not announce their separation until five months later, in February 2020.
Michael insists he has a ‘wonderful relationship and friendship’ with Kyly.
In an official statement at the time, the former pair said the ‘amicable’ decision to separate was ‘the best course’ for their daughter.
Following their split, Michael dated Pip Edwards before their relationship eventually ended.
The cricketer then moved on with Jade Yarbrough.
But the couple got into a bust-up on January 10 in a Noosa park when the interior designer, 30, accused the cricketer of sleeping with his ex Pip.
