Lee is set to join the team on February 23, ahead of Afghanistan\u2019s upcoming all-format home series against Ireland.<p>The position was previously held by Jason Douglas, who worked with the team from June 2014 to December 2023. Lee was most recently the Head of Physical Performance for the Bangladesh Cricket Board, a role which he held since March 2020. Before that, he worked with the Sri Lanka men\u2019s team as their Strength &amp; Conditioning Trainer, from October 2016 to February 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before working with international teams, Lee was the Head of Strength and Conditioning of Sussex County Cricket Club for whom he had also served in the capacities of Academy Strength and Conditioning Coach and Interim Head of Science and Medicine, from March 2012 to September 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lee was a former right-hand batter for Kent in the England County cricket circuit, playing 13 matches in his first-class career, scoring 490 runs at an average of 30.62, including three half-centuries.
