Late on Friday, Australian Cricketer Brett Lee has announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket.  In spite of retiring from International cricket, Lee has expressed his intentions to continue playing for Indian Premier League and Big Bash League. The retirement came after Brett Lee, 35, suffered a calf injury during Australia’s 3^rd ODI against England.  He originally planned to retire at the ICC World Twenty20 that’s scheduled to start late August.

Brett Lee had an illustrious Cricket career and took 380 scalps in ODIs equaling Glenn McGraths record for Australia in ODIs. Brett Lee took retirement from Test Cricket a couple of years back in February 2010. He appeared in his final international match for Australia in Durham last week during Australia’s third ODI against England during which he hurt his calf while bowling the 3^rd over of his spell. He returned home after the calf injury and decided to make the official retirement at the SCG.
