About

Player story

Meg Lanning is Australia's victorious captain at the 2014 Women's World T20 in Bangladesh. In fact, she is the youngest Australian to captain an Australian cricket squad in both Men's and Women's cricket. She first represented Australia in the T20 format in 2010 and is a regular member of the side as she does very well with the bat in the middle-order. Lanning played the Test match format for the country for the first in 2013 taking on England in an Ashes series away from home. During the return Ashes series Down Under, she led her side but couldn't stop England from winning the game. Her biggest achievement came on March 27 2014, when she thrashed the Ireland Women bowlers all over Sylhet enroute to a stunning 65-ball 126 at the T20 World Cup. She also made the highest score in the side in the final and helped Australia clinch the title. With age on her side, pundits rate Lanning very high and expect her to bring more glory to Australia.
