Paceman Brett Lee has announced he's retiring from Test cricket but will now turn his full attention to Twenty20 and one-day international cricket which will also allow him to spend more time with his family.
He told reporters it was a cricket choice and a lifestyle choice, it wasn't the end of him.
He said he hasn't decided whether he will play in this year's Indian Premier League. Along with the rest of the team, he will be waiting to hear what transpires as there are currently serious issues with the safety of Australians in India. A string of threats were recently issued by various political groups in India.
Lee recalled the highlight of his career as taking his first Test wicket in Melbourne against India in 1999 when he clean bowled Sadagoppan Ramesh.
He maintained that Test cricket should remain the most prominent form of the sport and said he hoped that up- and-coming bowlers would also see it this way and not get too sidetracked concentrating on the shorter styles of the game.
