Australian fast bowler Brett Lee leave from international cricket on Friday, present days after he was forced to come back to home from England after nourishing another injury and a few months ago he had pencilled in a possible exit from the game.
The 35-year-old, Brett Lee who first announced his decision on his personal network Twitter page, continued a right calf strain in the 4th one day match of Australia's limited over’s tour of England and was forced to return home for further examination and treatment.
Brett Lee said to media, "The last two or three nights I have thought about it a lot and I woke up this morning and thought this was the right day to do it."
"It's almost like there has been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have been a bit anxious the last two days. It has been a hard few days."
Brett Lee had been accepted to be available for the World Twenty20 tournament in Sri Lanka later this year, and he said he had held discussions with the selectors about retiring from after that, but the most recent injury had changed those plans.
"It (retirement) was going to be post-World Cup but I woke up this morning and felt ... that the time was right," he added.
"To play international cricket you need to be mentally and physically 100 percent and I didn't think it would be fair to the team or me if it wasn't in that space.
"Looking ahead at the next two months I just didn't have that desire any more. It's not a lack of commitment but you just get to that point in your life when enough's enough and the great run is at an end."
