Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke and his wife Kyly have welcomed their baby girl who was born five weeks ahead of the set delivery date.

A close source revealed about the former Australian cricket team captain and his model wife welcoming their first child and though the delivery was premature, the baby and the mother were all well and healthy, News.com.au reported.

In October Clarke and Kyly said they were hoping for an early Christmas present, as their girl was due late December. 

The couple has not named their new born yet. Kyly had previously revealed to Daily Mail Australia that the pair did not have a specific name in mind for their child before the birth. 

The brunette beauty explained: 'We have a couple of favourites when it comes to boys and girls, so I think when the time comes, we'll just look at each other and...we'll just know the name once we see bub.'
