Tough for Lee to return

Former Australia captain Mark Taylor feels with age creeping up it would be difficult for the Brett Lee to earn his place back in the Test team. Taylor said he didnt want Lee to quit Test cricket to prolong his ODI and Twenty20 career like English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff.

However,its a tough one for Brett because its tougher for fast bowlers and hes 33,not 30 or 31. Hes getting to the stage where even if he was 100 per cent fit,which clearly he is not,its always harder to maintain your spot in the side, Taylor was quoted as saying by The Australian.

The younger guys coming through like Johnson,Siddle and Hilfenhaus have done a good job over the last 12 to 18 months. Even if he (Lee) gets himself back to full fitness,thats going to take up to 10 or 12 weeks and it gives those guys more time to really cement their spot, he said.
