Australia captain Michael Clarke left for the Caribbean on Sunday confident he would be fit to play in the Test series against West Indies.
Clarke had a brilliant Australian summer with the bat but was forced to skip the one-day series, which concluded on Sunday, because of a hamstring injury.
“It’s been a busy couple of weeks of rehab and treatment with my physio,” Clarke told reporters on Sunday.
“I had a fitness test Friday and I passed all of that. I’ve still got seven days until our tour game starts.
“Knowing that we’ve got that time before the tour game I’ll be 100 per cent.”
Australia play the first Test against West Indies in Bridgetown, Barbados starting on April 7, followed by further matches in Port of Spain (April 15-19) and Dominica (April 23-27).
