When Brett Lee decided to retire from Test cricket, not many were surprised. In a bid to lengthen his ODI and Twenty20 career, Lee had to make this choice.
Just like England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and Kiwi pacer Shane Bond did before him, Lee decided to sacrifice his Test career to gain maximum from the shorter formats of the game.
The New South Wales speedster has no regrets whatsoever. “I am satisfied with all what I have done in Tests. I am very proud of my achievements in Tests,” said Lee, who is now in India to play in the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The tearaway Australian speedster said that he had no apprehensions about security in India. Lee is hoping to use the IPL as a platform to put up a strong case for his place in the national side which will play in the World Twenty20 Championship starting on April 30 in the West Indies.
“This is a great opportunity for me and I am really excited to get back to cricket,” Lee, who last played for his country in October 2009, said.
