Quitting T20 made me a better player: Clarke

Australia captain Michael Clarke says his decision to retire from T20 cricket at the start of 2011 has made him a better player in the longer formats of the game.

Since becoming captain and retiring from T20, Clarke has amassed 819 Test runs at an average of 68.25 and hit four hundreds.

"I think I made the right decision to stand down from T20 cricket and to focus on my one-day and Test cricket. I really thought I had to improve my game, to try to become the player I want to be, to become the best player I can possibly be."But at some stage, I might like to get into playing T20 cricket, IPL and Big Bash," he said.
