Brett Lee Admits Retirement Fear

Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, admits that he had fears that he may never be able to play cricket again.
The 33 year old has just come out of elbow surgery from an injury which he incurred in December 2009 and has already been ruled out of the whole summer season. He describes his elbow injury as the most painful of his whole career.

Lee states, "I may never bowl another ball and if that's the case, I'm so satisfied with my career and my longevity".
Due to various different injuries such as foot and ankle injuries, Brett hasn’t been able to play test cricket since Dec 2008. Brett will be meeting with Australia team bosses and Captain Ricky Ponting to discuss his options for his career.

"As far as my cricket goes, anything is possible - I may play one-dayers or no cricket at all,"
"To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what I still want to do in my cricketing life.
"If it's the case that I don't play again, well, that's the case."

Lee has suffered quite a few injuries in the past and has missed the Ashes series which was against England last year due to a rib injury.

"I will see how the arm pulls up because I can't achieve any aspirations in cricket unless my body is functional."
Lee will have to have a long talk to his closest confidents to make a decision on what his career holds for him, for now he is just monitoring his fitness levels and ensuring he makes a proper recovery.
