Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke is reportedly set to sign a new contract with a bat sponsor worth more than $1 million.
Fairfax newspapers reported the 30-year-old, who scored a record at the SCG of 329 not out against India last week, has made a handshake agreement with bat manufacturer Spartan Sports.
"The last I heard, there was a handshake agreement and a contract for a three-year deal with Spartan worth seven figures," a source reportedly told Fairfax.
"If you said the deal was worth well over a million dollars, you wouldn't be wrong."
Clarke played without any logos on his bat during the Sydney Test after ending his 18-year association with Slazenger because it reportedly could not come to agreement over his commercial demands.
