Player Story

Meg Lanning is a cricket superstar.

A seven-times World Cup winner, five of them as captain - and Commonwealth Games gold medallist - Lanning wasted no time when she burst onto the international scene as a teenager in 2010, scoring a century against England in just her second ODI.

Two years later, she set a new benchmark for fastest one-day ton by an Aussie, slamming a 45-ball hundred against New Zealand at North Sydney Oval in a record that stood until Glenn Maxwell beat it during the 2023 men's ODI World Cup.

In January 2014, Lanning became Australia's youngest-ever captain, standing in for an injured Jodie Field during the Ashes, and a month later was appointed full-time skipper of the T20 side.

She led her team to victory in the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh later the same year, and after assuming the Test and ODI captaincies in 2015, helped Australia win back the women's Ashes for the first time since 2001.

Lanning endured a tough 2017, undergoing a shoulder reconstruction shortly after her team's shock exit from the ODI World Cup.

But the Australia captain emerged better than ever before, leading the charge into a golden new era that saw Australia win the 2018 and 2020 T20 World Cups, the 2022 one-day World Cup, claim a world record 26 ODI victories in a row and continue to keep the Ashes out of English hands, before making history when she led Australia to gold as women's T20 cricket made its Commonwealth Games debut.

Lanning also continues to rewrite the record books; she has struck more one-day tons than any other woman and is Australia's all-time leading run scorer across all formats.

She took a six-month break from cricket following the Commonwealth Games, but returned to lead Australia to the 2023 T20 World Cup in South Africa, which was her final appearance in Australian gold. 

Lanning announced her retirement from international cricket in November 2023, but continues to play domestic cricket in the WBBL and WNCL.
