Brett Lee reveals how he stays fit post-retirement

Brett Lee, one of cricket's most formidable bowlers, continues to impress with his dedication to fitness and the game. Known for his lightning-fast deliveries, Lee's career includes 380 wickets in ODIs, 310 in Tests, and 28 in T20Is. 

In an interview with a cricket website, the 47-year-old Australian legend revealed his fitness mantra as he participates in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2024 tournament.

Lee, who played alongside greats like Glenn McGrath and was only 0.2 kmph shy of Shoaib Akhtar's fastest delivery record, emphasized the importance of maintaining peak physical condition even after retiring from professional cricket. He shared that his time in India during the IPL, where he now works as a broadcaster, has been crucial for his fitness routine.

“I think what we (retired cricketers) try and do is just be the best versions of us, and we work hard on our fitness. For me personally, it's hard being a pilot to run in. You've got to be super fit, but also too, it's about having the time, I've done that throughout the IPL, I had two and a half months in India where I had opportunity to train, and I knew this (WCL 2024) was coming up, so I wanted to make sure I was nice and fresh for it,” Lee said.

Furthermore, Lee is currenlt playingh the World Championship of Legends which is a T20 tournament featuring six teams: India Champions, Australia Champions, England Champions, Pakistan Champions, South Africa Champions, and West Indies Champions. The 2024 season has seen Australia and Pakistan secure their spots in the playoffs, while the remaining teams are fiercely competing for the other playoff berths.
