Meg Lanning Retires from International Cricket
After a successful career in international cricket of 13 years, Meg Lanning announces her retirement. This comes as a heavy blow to the fans, and someone like me who have followed her very closely.
Indian women’s team has very recently started getting the investment that the Australian both mens and women have received from time immemorial. No doubt they always had the great team.
Meg has led the Australian team to win the world cup for 7 times, and she has been no less than a living wonder when she’s on the field.
Lanning’s announcement was met with tributes from fans and fellow cricketers alike:
She has been an inspiration to many, and her legacy will live on in the young talent that will step up to take her place and the indelible mark she has left.
Here are some reasons why Lanning’s retirement is a significant loss to the cricketing world:
Successful career: Lanning has had a successful career, having led Australia to four Twenty20 World Cup titles, one 50-over World Cup triumph, and a Commonwealth Games gold medal
She has been a prolific run-scorer and decorated leader, and her achievements in women’s cricket and Australian cricket, in particular, are legendary
Revolutionized the game: Lanning has been at the forefront of growing the game and inspiring the next generation of cricketers all around the world
Under her leadership, the Australian women’s cricket team has built a legacy of global dominance.
Inspiring leadership: Lanning’s decision-making as a captain was almost flawless, and she has left behind another benchmark tough to emulate
She has been an inspiration to many, and her dedication and commitment to the game have been admirable.
Tough to replace: Lanning’s departure marks the beginning of a changing of the guard, and it will be tough to replace her
She has been one of the game’s most successful captains and prolific batters, and her retirement is a significant loss to the cricketing world.
The only hope that I have right now is she will probably have a little more time with the Delhi Capitals and would have the time to nurture the Indian youngsters better.
