MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former Australia women's captain Meg Lanning said she struggled with weight loss and insomnia before her shock retirement from international cricket last year.

Lanning, who won the T20 World Cup five times and the 50-overs edition twice, pulled out of the Women's Ashes last year for medical reasons and quit the national team in November.
