Lanning, 31, who has played six tests, 103 one-day internationals and 132 Twenty20 internationals, will continue to play domestic cricket in Australia and possibly India.
“The decision to retire from international cricket was a difficult one, but I feel the time is right for me,” Lanning said on Thursday in a statement “I have been very fortunate to enjoy a 13-year international career. “
Speaking later outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of family and friends, Manning said he tried to talk herself out of ending her international career.
“I’m sad that it’s ending, but I’m really ready for something new,” said Lanning. “I feel now that I have nothing left to achieve on the international stage. For me, II can’t be half in or half out with anything and I think that’s where I came from country with this decision.”
Lanning broke down as he thanked his father Wayne and mother Sue, who attended their daughter’s farewell press conference. Lanning was born in Singapore when her father was a banker there.
Lanning, who has won two ODIs and five T20 World Cups – has amassed 8,352 runs in international cricket since her debut in 2010. That total includes 17 centuries and 38 half-centuries.
In her second ODI, Lanning became the youngest Australian to score an international century when she hit an unbeaten 104 against England at the age of 18. This is a record she still holds.
Lanning was appointed captain in 2014, becoming Australia’s youngest ever skipper at just 21. She led Australia in 182 matches, more than any other female player. She leaves one of Australia’s most successful international teams.
In his final international match, Lanning led Australia to the 2023 T20 World Cup title against South Africa in February.
“One of the best cricketers Australia has produced, Meg’s supreme achievements with the bat have been matched by her inspiring leadership,” said Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley. “As one of the best players in the world over a long period of time, Meg has had an immeasurable influence and led a generation that helped revolutionize the game.”
