Australia’s legendary fast bowler Brett Lee has supported the selection of Mayank Yadav in the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia. Mayank came into the limelight in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 due to his ability to bowl at a speed of 150 kmph consistently. Recently he was called for the first time by India in the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh and even made his debut.

Brett Lee said this

Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee told Fox Cricket, “I can tell you that when you bowl at 135-140 kilometers per hour, the batsmen are fine, but when you bowl at 150-plus. I don’t care who he is, no one wants to face him. He looks like a complete package, if Mohammed Shami is not ready, at least include him (Mayank) in the team. I think he will do very well on these Australian wickets.” Brett Lee is in favor of promoting youth rapidly in international cricket. Speaking further, Brett Lee praised the Indian team management for rapidly promoting its players in international cricket.
