The 44-year-old, who has battled the disease multiple times since his initial diagnosis in 2006, shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday (August 27), highlighting the importance of regular check-ups and early detection.
Clarke posted a photo taken after the procedure, writing: “Skin cancer is real! Especially in ????????. Had another one cut out of my nose today. Just a reminder to everyone—get your skin checked. Prevention is best, but for me, consistent monitoring and early detection make all the difference. So thankful to @drbishsoliman_ for catching it early.”
A celebrated leader of Australian cricket, Clarke represented his country in 115 Tests, 245 ODIs, and 34 T20Is between 2004 and 2015. He captained Australia in 74 Tests, guiding them to a 5-0 Ashes whitewash at home in 2013-14.
