IPL: Clarke to arrive in India on April 30

This will be something of a Twenty20 return for Clarke, who last played in the shortest format in October 2010.The crowds look fantastic [at the IPL] and its going to be nice. To be honest with you, to be back playing some Twenty20 cricket, Im looking forward to that. Ive never been to the IPL. Ive said for a long time that when the opportunity comes up and I feel that its right for me, Id love to get over there and have a crack and see what its like, Clarke said after the Dominica Test. I am looking forward to it. We [Australia] have a good break this winter. Ive only got two one-day tours the whole winter, so if I was ever going to go this is the opportunity.In 2009, Clarke had pulled out of the IPL auction, citing Australias busy schedule. He then retired from Twenty20 internationals in January 2011 in order to focus on ODIs and Tests. In fact, the only domestic Twenty20 games he has played were six matches way back in 2004, for Hampshire in England.
