Brett Lee & Wife Split
Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has been given a leave of absence from the national cricket team, and will miss the upcoming one-day series against Bangladesh, to deal with his dissolving marriage.
Lee’s manager Neil Maxwell cited a “family issue” as the reason for his withdrawl from the Australian squad, but sources say the sportsman is actually going through a divorce with wife of two years, podiatrist Liz Kemp.
“I’m not in a position to confirm or deny that,” Maxwell said.
“Obviously it’s a personal matter and Brett is working through that.”
His short-term leave was granted by acting Cricket Australia chief executive Michael Brown, who has replaced the champion fast bowler with uncapped Tasmanian, Brett Geeves.
“The selectors are comfortable this move will maintain the competitive edge for the Australian side and provide a wonderful opportunity for Brett Geeves to join the Australian group for the first time,” Brown said.
“We look forward to Brett Lee rejoining the group as soon as possible.”
A close friend of the cricketing star added: “Brett needs time to work through things. Obviously, it’s a tough time for him.”
Lee and Kemp wed in June 2006, and had a son, Preston Charles – a first for both – in November 2006.

Brett Lee’s How Embarrassment!!!
I have just seen possibly the most embarrassing thing EVER in the history of Australian cricket!!!
Aussie fast bowler – and resident hottie – Brett Lee, has just released a Bollywood single titled Can You Tell A Girl.
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can click here until we have the clip up direct. It’s sort of in the same league as David Hasselhoff’s Hooked on a Feeling.
If the lyrics and dance moves aren’t enough to make you laugh, than I’m sure his fluro green shirt will!!!
It’s actually hit # 1 in the Indian singles charts…I don’t expect it to have quite the same success here at home!
