Australian media daily Telegraph reported that the four-Test series will begin on February 9. The Board of Cricket in India (BCCI) is re-evaluating whether to keep the 41-year-old Clarke in the commentary team. Clarke has the opportunity to earn one and a half million dollars from the commentary contract in this series of four Tests called Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Matthew Hayden and Clarke are expected to be in the commentary team for Australia.

The BCCI has in the past also dropped several players from commentary contracts for not meeting their terms. Fox Sports will telecast the series in Australia. News.com.au asked Fox Sports about its global commentary team. But Fox Sports has not given any opinion on this. It will be another big blow for Clark if he loses his commentary contract. A cosmetics brand canceled its sponsorship deal with her just hours after the video went viral last Wednesday. Clarke will appear on Sky Sports Radio's 'The Big Sports Breakfast' on Monday to discuss the controversial incident.

While on holiday in Noosa, Queensland, Clark was assaulted by his girlfriend, Jade Yarbrough, while having dinner. Yarbrough accused Clarke of still having an affair with former lover and fashion designer Pip Edwards.

In the video, Yarbrough can be seen shouting, 'You want to take him (Pip) to India with you. I read the small message. Said Pip, you are the love of my life. Come with me to India.'

Clark later apologized for his behavior. The Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying, 'My behavior in the scandal was shameful and regrettable. I am fully responsible for this and I have done the mistake.'
