T20 World Cup: Wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy stated she is ready to take on the Australia captaincy in full-time capacity following Meg Lanning's international retirement and expressed confidence in her recovery from a finger injury ahead of tour of India starting with a Test match on December 21.
Alyssa has stood in for Meg over the last 12 months in Australia’s tour of India, Women’s Ashes in England and the white-ball series against West Indies. With the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup and 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, plus a home Ashes series, Australia quickly needs to get a captain on full-time basis.
"I've been filling in in the anticipation that Meg will come back, but at the end of the day the decision of who the next skipper will be is up to the powers that be, whether they look long term or short term I'm not 100% certain on that."
