Meg Lanning will take a period of indefinite leave from the Australian women’s cricket team due to personal reasons.
The national team captain, 30, played for her country just three days ago at the Commonwealth Games where she won gold after helping her side beat India by nine runs at Edgbaston.
Lanning, who is ranked No 2 in the world by the ICC, stepped down as captain of Victoria last month due to a hectic cricket schedule but will now take a break from the sport altogether.
