Michael Clarke denies dating model

Michael Clarke has denied that he has a new girlfriend.

The Australian cricket vice-captain, who called off his engagement to Lara Bingle earlier this year after her nude photograph scandal, was believed to be dating model Kyly Boldy after they were pictured going to the cinema together.

Clarke wrote on his Twitter page this morning: "Kyly and I are friends. Not boyfriend and girlfriend."

A spokesperson for Clarke told The Daily Telegraph: "I can confirm Michael and Kyly are friends and have known each other since their school days."
