Hold your head high: Brett Lee to Rubel

Sports Desk: Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has replied a tweet of Bangladesh paceman Rubel Hossain praising his role in the final match of Nidahas Trophy.

Lee, who was in the TV commentary team for the concluded T20 tri-series in Sri Lanka, said, "Hold your head high Rubel, you tried your best and I’m sure your country is proud of you."

Earlier, Rubel Hossain in his tweet said, "I know it's all my mistake but to be honest, I never thought Bangladesh would lose the game from such winning situation only for my mistake. I am seeking forgiveness to all my countrymen. Please forgive me."



Bangladesh fast bowler Rubel had a fairly good Nidahas Trophy and despite his last over that cost 22 runs, Lee was impressed with Rubel’s consistent use of the yorker.

Rubel Hossain, a veteran of 85 one-day internationals and 25 Tests, played a key role in Bangladesh making the final of the tri-series, which the Tigers lost in a last-ball thriller to India.
