Shane Lee retires
Cricket New South Wales - 29 April 2003
Former NSW captain and One Day International Shane Lee has announced his retirement from NSW cricket today.
Lee made his debut in the baggy blue against Western Australia at the SCG in 1992-93. He played 73 First Class matches for NSW (captain 13 times) and holds the record for the most Domestic One Day matches for the Blues with 59 (captain 14 times).
A persistent knee injury, which kept Lee from appearing for NSW for most of last summer, has forced his decision to leave the game he loves.
Cricket NSW Chief Executive David Gilbert has acknowledged Lee's contribution to NSW cricket over the last decade.
"Shane has been a terrific all rounder for the Blues, scoring more than 3,600 runs in First Class Cricket, and taking 102 wickets," said Mr Gilbert. "Shane also played One Day cricket at the highest level, representing his country 45 times following his debut against the West Indies in Adelaide in 1995-96."
"On behalf of the NSW Cricket Association, I congratulate Shane on his outstanding career, and wish him well in the future" Mr Gilbert said.
Another factor in Lee's decision is the growing demands of his business career.
He is a founding partner and executive director of International Talent Management, a sports marketing and management business that has grown rapidly since its establishment more than 12 months ago.
Formed with another former First Class cricketer, Neil Maxwell, the company manages a number of elite sportspeople and has also established a number of commercial sports marketing agreements with major national and international companies.

Classy player - well liked as well.
Could be depended on to do a job for the team and was a member of the 1996 and 1999 World Cup squads. Should have been given a Test cap in my opinion as opposed to Shaun Young on the 1997 Ashes Tour.
