Former Australia cricket captain Michael Clarke had his sixth surgery for skin cancer on his nose. The 44-year-old, who led Australia to the 2015 World Cup win, shared a photo after the operation. He urged people to get regular skin checks, especially in sunny countries like Australia. Clarke was first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2006 during his cricket career. He had several surgeries before, including one in 2019 to remove lesions and another in 2023 needing 27 stitches. Clarke works with the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation to raise awareness. He retired from international cricket in 2015. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 23:30 IST; source: link)
