- Meg Lanning ‘would certainly be interested in talking to her’
- Barty yet to announce next move, with golf also a possibility
Australia’s World Cup-winning cricketers would welcome Ash Barty’s return to cricket – but only on the three-time major winner’s terms.
Barty rocked the sporting landscape when she announced her retirement from tennis a fortnight ago, hanging up her racquet on top of the sport as world No 1. Among those surprised were Meg Lanning’s squad in New Zealand, many of whom played with or against Barty during her stint in the Women’s Big Bash League.
