Prime Minister Tony Abbott believes Michael Clarke will be missed as Australia's cricket captain.
Clarke will retire after the last Ashes test match in England having already lost the series 3-1.
"He has not only been a great player and leader, I think that he has been a great role model, particularly last year with the tragedy over Phillip Hughes," Mr Abbott told the Nine Network.
