Australia captain Meg Lanning has announced her retirement from international cricket.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old made her international debut in December 2010 and at 18 years old became the youngest Australian to score a century after smashing an unbeaten 104 against England in her third match.<\/p>\n

Lanning became captain of the team at 21 and is one of the most decorated captains having overseen her side win five World Cup crowns and a Commonwealth Games gold medal.<\/p>\n

The three-time Belinda Clark medallist retires having won seven World Cups in total, amassing 8,352 runs from 241 international games.<\/p>\n

Lanning said: \u201cThe decision to step away from international cricket was a difficult one to make, but I feel now is the right time for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been incredibly fortunate to enjoy a 13-year international career, but I know now is the right time for me to move on to something new.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeam success is why you play the game, I\u2019m proud of what I have been able to achieve and will cherish the moments shared with team-mates along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to thank my family, my team-mates, Cricket Victoria, Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers\u2019 Association for their support to allow me to play the game I love at the highest level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to say a huge thank you to all the fans who have supported me throughout my international career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lanning will continue to play domestic cricket and is currently representing Melbourne Stars in the Women\u2019s Big Bash League.<\/p>\n
