As he started the standard prematch public interview, Clarke said: "Tomorrow will be my last ODI amusement for Australia. Ive recently identified with my buddies, addressed James Sutherland and Rod Marsh and Darren Lehmann and educated them that tomorrow will be my last ODI diversion for Australia."
Clarke said that he settled on the choice in the wake of leaving the SCG on Thursday, where Australia beat India in the second semi-last by 95 runs, and told his wife Kyly after coming to home. He trusted that resigning from ODI cricket would draw out his Test profession.
"I'm amazingly appreciative and thankful – I've quite recently discovered that tomorrow will be my 245th one-day diversion – its been an honor and a benefit to speak to my nation for that measure of amusements. I'm thankful to each player I have been sufficiently fortunate to play with and this group is no special case to that. I think it is the correct time for me and the Australian group. I was extremely blessed four years prior to get the chance to commander this one-day group. That was okay readiness for me paving the way to this World Cup, I think the following Australian commander merits the same open door. I don't think it is practical that I'll be fit and solid and accessible to play the following World Cup so I trust it is the correct time."
Clarke, 33, made his ODI make a big appearance in 2003 in Adelaide against England and driving into the World Cup last, he has scored 7907 runs in the configuration at a normal of 44.42, with eight centuries and 57 half-hundreds of years.

In five innings in the competition, Clarke has scored 145 runs at 29.00, with only one fifty against Sri Lanka in Sydney. Australia have lost only one match, to New Zealand at Eden Park, yet Clarke was positive about the group's capacity at the MCG on Sunday.
Asked whether he had considered surrendering Test cricket prior to drag out his one-day profession, Clarke said: "Never. It never entered my thoughts to surrender Tests to drag out ODI vocation. I've generally kept up that Test cricket is the hardest, a definitive.
I've said from the begin that the diversion owes me nothing and i owe the amusement everything," he included.
Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland expressed gratitude toward Clarke and saluted him on a celebrated vocation. "Michael educated me and his colleagues of his choice prior today. We salute him on a magnificent profession in one-day global cricket," Sutherland said in a media discharge soon after the declaration.
"From the time that he blast onto the scene as an energizing 21-year old path back in January 2003, he was constantly bound for awesome things. While his choice comes as something of a shock, Michael abandons one-day cricket all alone terms, meaning to complete on an outright high, before a pressed MCG as a conceivable World Cup-winning skipper. Thats extremely unique.
