Alyssa Healy expressed her interest in taking over the Australian cricket captaincy from Meg Lanning. Lanning recently retired from international cricket after leading Australia to multiple victories in various tournaments. Healy, who is currently recovering from finger surgery, has filled in as captain in the past and stated that she would “100 percent” put her hand up for the job if given the opportunity again. The decision on the new captain needs to be made ahead of the upcoming multi-format tour to India. Other potential candidates for the role include Tahlia McGrath and Ashleigh Gardner.
Lanning, on the other hand, will continue to play in domestic competitions.
