The Australian Women’s team has suffered a major setback ahead of the Ashes, when skipper Meg Lanning was ruled out of the tour on Saturday morning.
Australia’s Head of Performance (Women’s Cricket) Shawn Flegler reflected on Lanning’s absence and said it’s an unfortunate setback for her, though he has stressed their support is behind the national captain as she continues to walk on the road to make a comeback.
“She is obviously disappointed to have been ruled out of the Ashes; it’s a significant series for the team and she’ll be missed, but she understands the need to put her health first,” Flegler said as quoted by ICC.
He said, “Meg will remain at home where she will continue to work with medical staff with the aim to return to playing as soon as possible.”
