SYDNEY: The Sydney Sixers on Monday said they have spoken to Michael Clarke about his comeback plans as the former Australia skipper weighs up a tilt at Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash League.

Clarke, who returned to Sydney club cricket over the weekend with Western Suburbs, has been linked with the Sixers about reigniting a T20 career in next season’s domestic competition.

Sixers general manager Dominic Remond confirmed preliminary discussions had been held with the batsman, who retired in August.

“We caught up with Michael a few weeks ago to chat about his interest in the Sixers and what he was looking to do moving forward,” Remond said.

Clarke said before his comeback club match that he ‘missed the game’, and wanted to have a crack at making his mark in T20s.

“We only have a few positions available on our roster and we are just working through our review process,” added Remond.
