Lee ready to lead Australia attack

DUBAI - Paceman Brett Lee, who retired from Test cricket last week, said he hoped to spearhead Australia's attack at the World Twenty20 tournament to be staged in the Caribbean from April 30.

"I am working very hard on my fitness. My arm is coming along very nicely and if everything goes well, I will hopefully take that new ball for Australia and lead the attack for couple more years," Lee said on Monday.

Lee, 33, played his last Test for his country against South Africa in late 2008 and has since struggled with foot, side and ankle injuries, with the side strain robbing him of the chance to take part in last year's Ashes series against England.
