I always feel so welcome in India says Brett Lee

New Delhi, June 28 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former Australian pacer Brett Lee, who is a popular face on Indian television, wants One-day international (ODI) cricket to return to the days when totals in the range of 250-280 were considered competitive. And for

Considered one of the most successful bowlers for Australia (718 wickets/2,728 runs), Lee said that to make the game "bowler friendly", it's important to ensure a conducive pitch with "good grass coverage". "That for me is the easiest way to do it... I'm not saying have an actual green top, but just have something for the bowlers to work with," said the brand ambassador of Vitamin D friendly sunscreen Solar D which has been launched in India through Amazon India.

As someone who loves India, its culture and people, Lee has been closely associated with philanthropic efforts in the country. "Every time I come to India, I feel like I am a part of this beautiful country. I feel so welcomed. India has accepted me as part of its own, which I am so humble and so grateful for." This latest association -- to do with a product that lets through some of the UVB light that the body uses to produce Vitamin D while providing sun protection -- he says is one way of "giving back" to people as it concerns their health and well-being.

"People are increasingly looking out to take care of their skin. When people use sunscreen, they think they are protecting themselves from skin cancer. Yes, you are. But you are also blocking out the good stuff that your body needs. "Your body needs some sunlight in order to make Vitamin D," he said, expressing concern about how children are preferring to remain indoors and indulging in computer or phone games instead of playing outdoors.
