Australian cricketers Megan Banting and Nicole Bolton have tied the knot, with the couple sharing moments from their wedding on social media.
The ceremony took place on May 2, and the video shared on Instagram gave a sneak peek into the celebrations, bringing together clips from the ceremony, time with family and friends, and a few candid moments in between. It gave a sense of the occasion without being overly elaborate, keeping things personal. From what was shared, the wedding appeared to be a private event, attended by close friends and family.
Both Banting and Bolton have been part of Australian women's cricket for a number of years, although their careers have taken different routes.
Bolton, a former international cricketer, represented Australia as a left-handed opening batter and was part of 2017 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup squad. She built a strong record in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) scoring 1,896 runs in 50 matches at an average of 41.21, including four centuries and 12 half-centuries.
When she debuted for Australia in 2014 at the MCG, she hit a century and became the first Australian woman to hit an ODI century on debut. Known for her ability to settle an innings and build partnerships, she was a steady presence at the top of the order during her time with the national side.
After stepping away from international cricket in 2022, Bolton has remained connected to the game. She moved into coaching and was part of the Mumbai Indians setup as a fielding coach during the Women's Premier League (WPL), working with one of the competition's top teams.
Banting, meanwhile, has been a regular in the domestic circuit. A wicketkeeper-batter, she has played in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) for Perth Scorchers. Her role behind the stumps and her ability to chip in with the bat made her a consistent presence across seasons. While Banting's career has largely been at the domestic level, she has been part of a competitive system that continues to grow, especially with the expansion of leagues like the WBBL.
The couple had been together for some time, and their wedding marks the next step in that journey. Instead of a large public celebration, they opted for something more lowkey. The reel that was shared was a collection of real moments rather than a staged announcement. It included everything from key parts of the ceremony to lighter, more candid interactions, giving a glimpse into the day without going into too much detail.
For both Banting and Bolton, cricket remains an important part of their lives, whether through playing, coaching or simply staying connected to the sport. But for now, the focus is on this personal milestone. Following the post, wishes poured in from fans, friends and members of the cricketing community, congratulating the couple and celebrating the occasion.
