Australian skipper Michael Clarke, who scored an unbeaten triple century against India in the second cricket Test at SCG, is poised to pocket more than US$1million from a new bat sponsor.
According to a report in the ‘ Sydney Morning Herald ', Clarke is poised to sign a three-year contract with bat manufacturer Spartan Sports in what is likely to be the first of a series of deals.
Clarke ended his 18-year association with Slazenger days before he led Australia to a thumping victory at the SCG, the report said. Spartan also has a licensing agreement with Cricket Australia and factories in India.
