Lee to retire after 20-year career
Friday, 16 January 2015
SYDNEY, Jan 15 (AFP): Australian pace bowler Brett Lee Thursday announced he is to retire from all forms of cricket after a 20-year career, saying he was both emotional and excited.
The 38-year-old called time on his international commitments in July 2012, but continued to play Twenty20 in both the Australian Big Bash League and the Indian Premier League.
His Sydney Sixers have one Big Bash regular-season match remaining, against cross-town rivals the Sydney Thunder next Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground ahead of a possible finals clash.
