    "editor1": "<p>Meg Lanning is set to make a comeback to competitive cricket after a five-month absence when an announcement on Friday said she would be captaining Australia in the home ODIs against Pakistan in January 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meg, considered as one of the greatest players in the women&#39;s game, had stepped away from competitive cricket after leading Australia to gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in August, citing personal reasons. As a result, she missed the WBBL and the five-match T20I series in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I can&#39;t wait to be out on the field again with Australia against Pakistan. Sometimes you just have to hit pause, step back and take a breather. That&#39;s certainly what I needed. The past six months have taught me a lot. I&#39;ve learnt so much about myself and who and what is important to me,&quot; she wrote in an Instagram post, announcing her return to cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meg added that during the break from the game, she has found appreciation towards the importance of opening up and seeking help. &quot;I&#39;ve always played my cards pretty close to my chest. This experience has given me a greater appreciation of how opening up and talking to the people that care about you really can make the tough times feel easier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s ok to ask for help and admit that you don&#39;t have everything under control. Having enjoyed some time and space, I feel refreshed and ready to play the game that I love in teams that I love. It&#39;s such an exciting time for the game and I can&#39;t wait to be part of it!&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meg made her international debut for Australia in 2010. In 2014, as a 21-year-old, she was named as the captain of the side. Since then, she has led Australia in 171 matches across all formats with 135 victories against her name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s ok to ask for help and admit that you don&#39;t have everything under control. Having enjoyed some time and space, I feel refreshed and ready to play the game that I love in teams that I love. It&#39;s such an exciting time for the game and I can&#39;t wait to be part of it!&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FwYLR1xf7FQ\">Roston Chase Picks Up His All-Time XI, Includes 3 Indians<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><em>This story has not been edited by Cricketnmore staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
