No return for Lanning as Aussies name WI squads

Meg Lanning’s return is likely to come via domestic cricket as Australia name squads for home T20I and ODI series against West Indies

Meg Lanning will not return for Australia’s white-ball games against West Indies next month, with the national captain’s return to the game more likely to come in domestic cricket.

On Friday Australia named 13-player squads for both the three-match ODI and T20I series against the Windies to be played in early October.

Alyssa Healy will continue to lead after captaining the side that retained the Ashes in the UK over the winter. 

Lanning was ruled out of the Ashes in May and then missed the subsequent ODI series in Ireland due to medical reasons and remains unavailable for selection as determined by Cricket Australia’s medical team.
