Brett Lee penned down a post while trying to show his support for the Indians who have been massively hit by the second wave of the lethal virus. Lee called India his second home and explained his decision behind the said donation.
Brett Lee conveyed the following message via his post, “India has always been like a second home for me. The love and affection that I have got from the people of this country both during my professional career and even after my retirement, holds a special place in my heart. It saddens me deeply to see people suffering due to the ongoing pandemic.”
Many Australians have withdrawn their names from the ongoing IPL season citing the rise of COVID-19 cases in India. Australia might announce a lockdown in their country soon and it might keep the players away from their family for a much longer time if they don’t leave for their country soon enough. The remaining Australian players are rumoured to leave the tournament in mid-way as well.
