Skin cancer has been identified in former Australian cricket player Michael Clarke. Clarke posted an update on his health on his Instagram account. In 2006, he was first given the same diagnosis.
With a bandage covering the outside of his nose, the 44-year-old posted a photo from what appeared to be a hospital bed. He advised his followers to regularly have their skin examined. Clarke also thanked Dr. Bish Soliman, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Sydney, for identifying his health problem early.

Uncontrolled skin cell proliferation is the root cause of skin cancer. The UV rays from the sun or tanning beds are the cause of this. Globally, skin cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer. For a successful outcome, early detection and treatment are crucial, as Michael Clarke stated in his post.
Notably, because of its closeness to the equator, high amounts of UV exposure, and sizable population of people with fair skin, Australia has the highest risk of skin cancer worldwide. By the time they are 70 years old, at least two out of every three Australians will have been diagnosed with some form of skin cancer, according to statistical study.
Speaking of the cricket player-turned-analyst, Michael Clarke and well-known anchor Erin Holland co-host the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast. For Australia, Michael Clarke participated in 394 international matches (115 Tests, 245 ODIs, and 34 T20Is). He is regarded as one of Australia’s best batsmen to have ever played, having amassed 17,112 runs (8643 in Test matches, 7981 in ODIs, and 488 in T20Is).
After leading Australia to a World Cup victory in 2015, Michael Clarke announced his retirement.
In addition to playing cricket for his country, he participated in six Indian Premier League and Blast (formerly Twenty20 Cup) games for Hampshire and Pune Warriors India.
