Brett Lee to feature for Wellington in HRV Cup
Australia pace bowler, Brett Lee has signed up with the cricket club of Wellington for the forthcoming domestic T20 tournament or the HRV Cup, as it was called last year. However, it has been said that
Lee will play only half the games in the tournament because of his commitments with the New South Wales team – his own domestic side in the Australian first class competitions.
The HRV Cup allows the teams to have three overseas cricketers and Wellington have signed up with Lee and Luke Wright for the competition. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lee-c72382 will play in five of the ten games that Wellington will play
in the competition and will often travel to and fro between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 to be a part of both the sides.
Lee has been out of the Australian side for some time now and is using the experience of playing in the T20 competition in New Zealand to get noticed by the Australian selectors. Australia play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758
in an ODI series and Lee is gunning to get into the squad.
The CEO of Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wellington-c864 and former all-rounder Gavin Larsen said: "It's tremendous to have secured the services of Brett and his record speaks for itself."
Lee will also have the company of Anthony Stuart, who had earlier played for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 with Lee at Wellington. Stuart is the head coach of the Wellington side.
"Not only will Brett run in hard and provide a cutting edge to our attack, he will also offer us extra batting power in the middle to lower order and he is a top fielder," said Stuart.
The HRV Cup will see some of the big names featuring in the tournament this year. Herschelle http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northern-Districts-c825 while Shaun Tait may be signed
up by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Canterbury-c775.
The HRV Cup starts from December 2 this year.
