MICHAEL Clarke will have his troublesome back assessed by doctors and physiotherapists in the next few days, but he hopes to be part of Australia's seven-match ODI tour of India later this month.
The Australian captain arrived home on Wednesday night after more than three months on the road, but there will be little respite for him in the lead up to the return Ashes series.
"For me right now it's about getting on the phone to Alex Kountouris, the Australian physio, and communicating with him as I have been over the last couple of weeks since he's been back in Australia and we'll make a plan from there," Clarke said.

"No doubt it's quite stiff and sore, but I'll be guided the experts on what I need to do now to try and get myself as fit as I can be.

"I would certainly like to go (to India) and continue to play. The more I can be a part of the two formats of the game that I'm playing, the more I'll try and do that because I'm enjoying my cricket at the moment."
Australia bounced back from a disappointing 3-0 loss in the Ashes to beat England 2-1 in the one-day series and Clarke hopes to keep that positive momentum going.
He said there were many positives to take out of the tour as a whole, including the ODI series win as well as some impressive individual performances.
"It was a good win for us in the one-day series and we just need to keep that momentum going," he said.
"I think certainly a lot of positives have come out of the whole tour including the Ashes series. There's obviously areas of our game where we continually see we need to improve, but I think the back end of the Test series was really pleasing the way we went about it.
"To be able to win the one-day side of things I think is really exciting for the one-day group.
"At the end of the day the result says 3-0 in the Ashes series and it says 2-1 to us in the one-day series. It's really important for us to stay nice and positive and look at the positives that have come out to the tour, but we need to make sure we're putting the results on the board and getting those wins."
