Cricket Australia launched its ambitious reconciliation action plan on Friday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which aims to "connect cricket with country".
It includes 22 actions to unite and inspire Indigenous and Torres Strait Islanders to be involved in the game through youth participation, employment quotas, reconciliation rounds and investment in cultural programs.
Clarke has a long-standing personal connection to cricket - her great grandfather James 'Mosquito' Couzens was part of the Aboriginal team which toured England in 1868.
She had a dream she would work with Cricket Australia and has designed a commemorative artwork for the 150 year anniversary of the team's trip to the UK.
On Friday a giant silk reproduction of her piece lay on the floor of the Olympic Room at the MCG, as more than 300 people attended the reconciliation plan launch.
The circular design is called Walkabout Wickets and honours the first Aboriginal XI team.
Clarke said the reconciliation plan meant "a hell of a lot" to her.
"It was my proposal in my dream that I was to put this through at some time," she said.
"I had a dream about Cricket Australia, but what was it?
"Was it going to be big?
"It happened many years ago and to have this happen now, it makes sense what that dream was about."
Her Walkabout Wickets design will also feature on the Australian women's cricket team jersey when it takes on England in Canberra in February.
Reconciliation Australia chief executive officer Karen Mundine said every new plan launched took Indigenous Australians further along their journey to achieving reconciliation.
"Cricket is part of our national identity and Cricket Australia has shown it is serious about what it is doing," she said.
