"I think it's the right time for me and the Australian cricket team," the 33-year-old Clarke told reporters.


"I made the decision 48 hours ago when I asked myself if I thought I would be playing in the next World Cup and I said to myself that I don't think I will be."

Clarke has played 244 one-day internationals, scoring 7,907 runs with a highest score of 130.

He intends to keep playing Tests having already played 108 matches with 8,432 runs and a highest score of 329 not out.
