technically accomplished batsman, it's only fair to say that Alex Lees hasn't lived up to his initial promise.Touted as one for the future by the likes of Geoffrey Boycott and Michael Vaughan, Lees - who came up through the Yorkshire Academy and then had several stints at various age groups, was named as the captain of his county team at the young age of 22. Under Lees's captaincy, Yorkshire reached the finals day of the domestic Twenty20 competition, but his reign as Yorkshire's captain lasted for only one year. Jason Gillespie, the incumbent coach quit his job after securing back-to-back county championships and the new coach, Andrew Gale, insisted on having one captain across all formats of the game. Thus, Lees lost his captaincy to Garry Ballance and it also seemed to have had an effect on his batting.
