‘It Is A Difficult Decision To Walk Away From International Cricket’
Announcing his retirement, Lanning said it was difficult to decide to step away from international cricket, but now is the right time for me. I have been incredibly fortunate to enjoy a 13-year international career, but now is the right time to move on to something new. The team’s success is why you play sports; I am proud of my achievements and will cherish the moments I shared with my teammates.
‘Thanks To Australian Cricketers Association’
The captain said I would like to thank my family, my teammates, Cricket Victoria, Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association for supporting me in playing the game I love at the highest level. I would also like to say a big thank you to all the fans who have supported me throughout my international career.
