Brett Lee back on tour

4/09/2008 6:18:00 AM.  | 
Australia's cricketers will today be joined by fast bowler Brett Lee who's flying in to meet with his teammates for the first time since his marriage break-up.

Lee will also speak to the media this morning.

He will outline how long he will be away from the Australian side and whether he will fulfil his long-held ambition of playing a Test series in India, where the world champions play four Tests from next month.

The Australian team will depart for India on September 21.

However, media will be asked not to ask questions about Lee's marriage break-up, as the short press conference will be limited to cricket questions only.
Lee has a contract with the Seven Network, where he is expected to discuss his split.

Lee and Kemp, a podiatrist, were married near Bowral, NSW, in 2006 and have a son, Preston, who is 18 months old.

Lee was reportedly shocked and shattered by the break-up, which cast doubt over his immediate cricketing future.

The couple's relationship reportedly blossomed during the 2005 Ashes tour and he later attributed his great performances over the past two years to his happy home life.

The Australian team has today off after thrashing Bangladesh for a second time in yesterday's one-day international at TIO Stadium.

Australia won yesterday's match by eight wickets in Darwin after winning the first game by 180 runs.

The third and final match is on Saturday.
