Australian cricket coach Darren Lehmann doubts Michael Clarke has played his last game for Australia. But the Australian captain faces a series of serious hurdles as he attempts to take part in the one-day World Cup, which starts on February 14. Clarke overcame a left hamstring injury to play the first Test against India, but suffered a flare-up of his degenerative back condition on day one. Clarke retired hurt, returning to the crease a day later and completing a courageous hundred. The 33-year-old then tweaked his right hamstring while fielding on day five, with scans confirming he will miss the rest of the four-Test series.
