SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia batsman Michael Clarke has said his recovery from surgery on his torn hamstring was progressing as expected and he still hoped to lead his country at next year's World Cup.

The 33-year-old tore his hamstring during the first test against India and was ruled out for the series, prompting speculation his latest injury could spell the end of his career.
