Michael Clarke will become the first Australian captain to play Sydney grade cricket in nearly a decade when he lines up for Western Suburbs at Pratten Park on Saturday.
Clarke missed the opening day of Wests' clash with North Sydney last Saturday but has been named on the team sheet for day two action this weekend.
Steve Waugh was the last Australian skipper to play Sydney club cricket when he played for Bankstown in 2003 against Wests.
Clarke will also play a Twenty20 match for his club side against Gordon on Sunday.
Western Suburbs are celebrating 100 years of cricket at their home ground Pratten Park.
Fans of Clarke's might not have to wait long to see him in action with the right-hander named at number five for Wests, who are 1 for 12 in reply to Norths' total of 9 for 382 declared.
