Former Australia Skipper Meg Lanning Says 'Obsession' Caused Retirement

By AFP News April 18, 2024 • 13:03 PM View: 501

Former Australia cricket captain Meg Lanning said Thursday that an unhealthy "obsession" with food and exercise led to her sudden international retirement last year aged just 31.

Lanning skippered Australia's all-conquering women's team for almost a decade, winning four Twenty20 World Cups, a 50-over World Cup and Commonwealth Games gold.
