Former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke once again underwent surgery to remove skin cancer, this time from his nose. The 44-year-old World Cup-winning skipper shared a post-operative photo on social media, serving as a stark reminder about the risks of sun exposure and the importance of early detection, particularly in sun-drenched countries like Australia.

Clarke, who has faced multiple battles with skin cancer over the years, revealed that he recently had another lesion removed, continuing a long-standing health struggle that began nearly two decades ago. His latest operation follows a series of previous treatments, including three non-melanoma lesions excised from his face in 2019.

“Skin cancer is real - especially in Australia,” Clarke wrote in his Instagram post. “Another one cut out of my nose today. A friendly reminder to get your skin checked. Prevention is better than cure, but in my case, regular check-ups and early detection is key.”
