Her bronze cast now stands alongside former captain Richard Benaud and Steve Waugh. The 52-year-old Clark who has held several roles in Australian Cricket board was excited on this honour.
“I’m excited to have the sculpture in place and for people to now look at it and perhaps wonder….. who that is and to be able to tell a bit of a story is really important,” Clark said.
