Meg Lanning

Meg Lanning became Australia’s youngest-ever captain at age 21 in January 2014, leading the team mid-Ashes after Jodie Fields’ injury. She finished as the series’ top run-scorer and later guided Australia to their third consecutive T20 World Cup title.

Since then, Lanning has overseen one of the most dominant eras in women’s cricket, achieving a record unbeaten run in ODIs and back-to-back T20 World Cup triumphs. She has a win percentage of 88.4 in 78 ODIs as captain, with four T20 World Cups and one ODI World Cup. She maintained batting averages of 57 in ODIs and over 40 in T20Is as a leader.
