'I was over exercising and under fuelling...' - Australia's Meg Lanning unveils truth behind her early retirement from international cricket

Former Australia batter Meg Lanning abruptly retired from International cricket in November 2023. The decision was shocking as she was a terrific batter who was just 31 years old and had a long career ahead. However, she revealed the real reasons behind her early retirement from International cricket. However, she will continue to play in the T20 leagues and was the captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the WPL 2024. 

"I was over-exercising and under-fuelling. I got to the point where I was doing about 85-90km a week. I was in denial. It became a bit of an ‘I am going to show you’ sort of thing. It sort of just spiralled. I was not in a place to be able to go on tour and play cricket and give the commitment levels required for that (2023) Ashes series mentally and physically," said Lanning.

Moreover, she was battling a severe health issue which she hasn't revealed yet. However, she spoke about the battle she had to fight because of her health which forced her to retire early. She also opened up about how her teammates noticed the change in her, but they were clueless as to what was going on at that time.
