Brett Lee is no longer just a bowler. Jo Casamento, writing in the Sun-Herald, says he is about to become a global money-spinning machine, with cricket a minuscule part of the empire.
Insiders say the fast bowler, who has just signed with the Nine Network, could earn $20 million in the next six to seven years from his Indian ventures spanning a clothing line, modelling, a television deal and Bollywood roles. His new band, White Shoe Theory, has eight Indian gigs lined up and he hopes to get back into the international cricket team for the 2011 World Cup ...
Lee, 33, has been to India more than 35 times and said he ''can't get enough of their culture, music and fashion''. ''I don't know what it is - I just love the people and I have just taken a real interest in it and I want to do a lot more over there with the charities."
