Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has made his first appearance in Pakistan and a new look has given some observers a shock.

Clarke is in Pakistan to commentate on the Pakistan Super League.

Despite a long playing career, the 42-year-old never played in Pakistan due to the security concerns with the country during that time.

The majority of Clarke's matches against Pakistan were played in the United Arab Emirates or Australia.

Clarke shared a photo to Instagram while in Pakistan with an apparent emphasis on lighting around his face.

"By jingoes … Maybe it was a bad photo," he laughed.

"It looked like he'd had a bit of a touch-up. His hair was like silver and his face looked like a landing strip. Smooth. His face didn't have a crease or crinkle on it anywhere.

"He looked different to how he normally does."

With 10 matches played in the PSL, Multan Sultans are currently on top of the ladder.
