His career has been hampered by injuries which have restricted him to 76 tests since his debut in the 1999—2000 season, and he has not played a test since January 2009. “I am extremely proud to have played test cricket for Australia. My reason for retiring from this form of the game is so that I can preserve my body and continue to represent my country,” Lee said in a statement.
