Former captain of the Australian cricket team, Michael Clarke, has provided an update regarding his health to his fans. He revealed that skin cancer has been removed from his nose. Clarke was first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2006, and in 2019, he underwent treatment for three non-melanoma lesions. He has previously warned his followers about the risks of skin cancer and encouraged them to have regular skin checks.

In a post on Instagram, Clarke emphasized the reality of skin cancer, particularly in Australia. He mentioned that another cancerous spot was removed from his nose, resulting in an additional cut. He stressed that prevention is better than treatment, and in his case, regular check-ups and early detection have been crucial. Clarke expressed gratitude to his doctor for the timely identification of the issue.

While skin cancer is treatable, it is essential to recognize that it still poses risks. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, but neglecting symptoms can lead to metastasis, which can be fatal.

Clarke has previously discussed his battle with cancer, stating, "I am a father, and I don’t want to go anywhere." He highlighted that his seven-year-old daughter is his top priority, and he aims to set a good example for her. As a prominent figure in Australian cricket, Clarke has played 115 Test matches, 245 One Day Internationals, and 34 T20 internationals, accumulating over 16,000 runs and 36 centuries across all formats.
