Player Bio

Elder brother of Brett Lee, Shane Lee was a promising junior, representing the Australia under-19 team. An explosive all-rounder, he first played for New South Wales in 1993 and was called up for the Australian limited-overs team in 1995. Shane also had a successful season with Somerset, scoring over 1,000 runs in 1996, and Worcestershire in the English County Championship.

Despite being included in the 1996 and 1999 World Cup squads, he only really established himself in the team in the 1999–2000 Carlton and United Series along with the emergence of his younger brother, fast bowler, and extremely talented Brett Lee. Shane Lee shot to prominence against Sri Lanka at MCG in 1999 in the same series where he picked his maiden five-wicket haul (5-33) leading the Aussies to a series win.

Having played in 45 ODIs in his short six-year career with the Aussies, in 2002 aged just 29, Shane retired from cricket due to knee injuries striking 48 wickets and scoring 477 runs for his country.
