It's official, the Australian vice captain is heading home from Australia's tour of New Zealand.

Michael Clarke has cited "personal reasons" for quitting the tour midway through the ODI series and remains an uncertainty for the forthcoming Test series.
Clarke's fiancee, Australian model, Lara Bingle, is suing former boyfriend and AFL footballer, Brendon Fevola, for allegedly releasing nude photos of her in the shower to the media. Denying that she was paid for the interviews that ensued, Bingle is perhaps counting on Clarke's proximity to deal with the scandal.
It is pure speculation at this point about the reasons for Clarke making the decision but suggestions seem to suggest he is standing by her for support.
