Sydney, Nov 22: Australian Test captain Steve Waugh does not want Brett Lee rushed back into the national team.

He is one of the world's most fearsome but is recovering from ankle surgery and torn stomach muscles.
Australia's first Test against India starts on 4 December and there is virtually no cricket before then in which Lee could prove his fitness.
His state side New South Wales have a solitary one-day match against Tasmania on November 29.
