Brett Lee backs Sean Abbott to be world cup wildcard

Quote:[size=12pt]Brett Lee says Sean Abbott has the "perfect package" to be Australia's World Cup wildcard and should be picked in the 15-man squad for the tournament.

Momentum is building for Abbott's inclusion after the all-rounder's excellent form in all versions of the game.

Coach Darren Lehmann said during the series against South Africa in November that Australia had nearly finalised their squad, but some positions remain up for grabs, particularly among the bowling ranks.[/size]
