Meg Lanning To Continue Break From Cricket, To Miss Women's Big Bash League Season 8

sports.ndtv.com

Melbourne Stars announced on Tuesday that their skipper Meg Lanning will continue her indefinite break from cricket and miss out on the eighth season of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL). "Melbourne Stars Captain Meg Lanning will continue her indefinite break from cricket and will not play for the Melbourne Stars in WBBL08," said a statement from the club.

The club respects her decision and asks that her privacy continue to be respected. Earlier in August, Lanning had announced that she will take an indefinite break from cricket, citing personal reasons.

Lanning had just helped her team complete a successful Commonwealth Games 2022 campaign in Birmingham, in which the Aussies captured gold after defeating India by nine runs in the final.

She took a step back from the game after a busy period of two and a half years during which Australia continued their domination by winning T20I and ODI World Cup events and the Ashes series at home.
