Meg Lanning Bats For More Tests In Women's Cricket
Meg Lanning: Meg Lanning, the former Australia captain and winner of multiple World Cups in white-ball cricket, has called for more Test matches in international women’s cricket. Her comments come ahead of Australia set to play their first-ever Test match against South Africa at the WACA in Perth in mid-February.
In recent times, Australia, South Africa, England and India have played women’s Test matches, while New Zealand, West Indies and Pakistan haven’t participated in the longer format since 2004. The Test against South Africa is Australia’s third game in the longer format in the last 12 months, but Meg wants to see more Tests in women's cricket.
"I actually like the multi-format series. Test matches are interesting. I think personally we need to play more of them to be able to play them well and get used to them. I think it's difficult to prepare for a Test match. In my career, we were playing once every two years. It takes us two days to work out how to play it and then the Test is over." Read More...
