World champion captain retired due to weight loss, himself revealed

Lanning took a six-month break for mental health after winning gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. He retired from the game after Ashes 2023 but did not give any reason.

She was also cut off from her family and friends. Then I felt that this should be stopped now.

Lanning said, “I would just put earphones in my ears and go running.” She didn't even keep her phone with her. Would take Apple Watch for music. Due to this no one is able to contact me. Gradually this became my habit. I couldn't sleep at night, which made me angry at myself, although all these things did not affect my game.
