Meg Lanning Opts Out Of Victoria Contract To Become Full-time Franchise Freelancer
National Cricket League: Former Australia captain Meg Lanning is set to become a full-time freelance cricketer after deciding against signing a state contract with Victoria for the 2026–27 domestic season, marking another significant step in her post-international career.
Lanning’s move reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of women’s cricket, where leading players are increasingly prioritising franchise opportunities across global leagues. Since retiring from international cricket in 2023, the 34-year-old has remained one of the most sought-after names in the women’s game, featuring in tournaments across India and England while gradually reducing her involvement in Australia’s domestic structure.
Although she stayed on Victoria’s roster following her retirement from international cricket, Lanning had only a limited role during the previous domestic campaign. She appeared in four matches during the Women’s National Cricket League season and did not return after the Women’s Big Bash League break, instead shifting focus to franchise commitments overseas.
