Brett Lee to return home for medical treatment
MEDIA ADVISORY
7 December 2005

Australian fast bowler, Brett Lee, will return to Australia tomorrow to seek treatment for a medical condition which has worsened over the past week.

Lee has experience breathing difficulty caused by a narrowing of his left nasal passage, which is thought to be related to the cellulitis (nasal infection) he suffered, and was treated for in hospital, prior to the Ashes tour this year.

Lee sought medical advice in Wellington today and will return to Sydney for consultation with a ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist immediately.

"Whilst I am disappointed that I can't play the final match in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series, I am grateful that I can return home and give priority to getting my health right," said Lee.
