Melbourne - Australia captain Michael Clarke will sit out the inaugural season of the domestic Twenty20 Big Bash league to concentrate on international cricket.

Australia is scheduled to play three Tests and five one-day matches during an August 6 to September 20 tour of Sri Lanka, before hosting Test tours by India and New Zealand in December and January.
