Michael Clarke has undergone another skin cancer removal.
The cricket legend, who has had several skin cancer surgeries over the years, took to Instagram on Monday to share an update with fans and remind them to get their skin checked.
‘Another day, another skin cancer removed,’ he wrote over a black and white picture, which showed him sitting in an office with a plaster on his nose.
‘Get your skin checked guys,’ he reminded his followers.
The 44-year-old also tagged his surgeon, Dr Bish Soliman, adding that he is the ‘best in the business’.
Michael recently admitted that his skin cancer scares had left him in fear that he might not be around for his daughter, Kelsey Lee.

He told the Daily Telegraph in 2023: ‘It does scare me. I am a dad – I don’t want to go anywhere.
‘The most important thing in the world is making sure I help my seven-year-old daughter and I guess set a good example for her.’
The sportsman blames his battle with skin cancers on spending long hours in the sun as a cricketer.
‘Imagine fielding all day in India, out there for eight hours in the sun, a lot of the guys are wearing the baggy green cap so you are not protecting your ears or your face,’ he told the publication.
‘You’ve got short-sleeved shirts so your arms and the tops of your hands (are exposed).
Earlier that year, Clarke posted a picture on Instagram showing himself in a hospital bed wearing a cap and gown.
‘Skin cancer Friday,’ he wrote in his caption, adding, ‘Go get checked please’.
Clarke also underwent surgery in March 2022 to have a skin cancer removed from his forehead.

The father-of-one was first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2006 and has battled the disease several times since then.
He told Seven’s The Morning Show in 2018 that he goes for a routine check-up every six to 12 months.
In 2014, he appeared in an ad campaign for the Cancer Council, where he advised fans to ‘keep a close eye’ on their skin.
He said: ‘Aussie blokes and women need to keep a close eye on your skin, particularly look in those hard to see places, and familiarise yourself with your body.’
