Melbourne, July 13:
Cricket Australia paid rich tribute to paceman Brett Lee, who announced his international retirement today, describing the veteran bowler as the “very embodiment” of the spirit of the game.
Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland said Lee would forever be remembered for not just his contribution as a wicket-taker but also as an inspiration to kids to take up the game.
“His record as a wicket-taker and leader of the attack is fantastic and speaks for itself but his resilience and ability to bounce back after numerous injuries has also been impressive,” he said.
“On top of this, and this is a significant part of his legacy, Brett inspired young Australians to play cricket and bowl fast”. (PTI)
