Brett Lee has bowled his final over and has landed in Dubai to kick-start his new chapter. The former Australian cricketer has officially relocated to the Emirates with his family, joining a growing list of global sports stars calling the city home. After years of travelling here for work, the move feels less like a natural next step.

Lee retired from international cricket in 2012 after a 13-year career. Now, more than a decade later, his focus has shifted from wickets to family time, opportunity, and balance. And Dubai seems like the perfect place to start a new journey.
Why Dubai Made Sense To The Australian Cricketer?
According to Gulf News, Dubai continues to attract high-profile figures from sports, entertainment, and business. All thanks to its infrastructure, safety, and lifestyle offering. Lee’s decision fits neatly. Lee shared the news through a social media post attached with photos and videos of him in the emirate.
Family, Opportunity And Everyday Life
Lee’s message signals how Dubai feels grounded. He spoke openly about the kids thriving, schools exceeding expectations, and sports being everywhere. For someone who spent his life around competition and training, being surrounded by an active culture still counts.
Lee made it clear that Australia will always remain home in spirit. His pride in what he built there, but Dubai, with its energy and ambition, feels right for the current and future stage of life.

A City That Keeps Pulling Talent In
The visuals Lee shared captured Dubai at its most familiar and its most striking. The Burj Khalifa, green golf courses and a desert camel ride. Together, they painted a picture many expats can relate to.
His move also strengthens his professional ties to the region. Late last month, Lee was appointed global ambassador for Danube Group, a major real estate empire based in the UAE.
For Brett Lee, Dubai isn’t a stopover but a home to build routines, raise a family, and stay connected to new opportunities.
