Meg Lanning to lead Melbourne Stars

MELBOURNE: Meg Lanning will be leading Melbourne Stars in the upcoming edition of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL). She will take over the reins from Elyse Villani who led the side last season. Lanning had captained the Stars in the opening two seasons before moving to Perth.

"I'm looking forward to leading the Melbourne Stars again and building on the great work Elyse Villani has done. It's a privilege to be captain and we're pretty happy with how our squad looks ahead of the tournament," Lanning said in an official statement.

"More than anything, I'm really looking forward to getting back to playing cricket, firstly with Australia and then with Stars in WBBL." IANS
