Alyssa Healy has been selected the vice-captain of the Australian women’s squad by Cricket Australia. Rachel Haynes, who retired last month, is replaced by her. Healy has previously played for Australia’s interim vice-captain team against India in 2021. In addition, she served as Sydney Sixers’ vice-captain for the first seven seasons of the Women’s Big Bash League.
“It’s a privilege to have been offered the vice-captaincy of any Australian team, let alone one that’s tasted as much success as this one,” Healy said. “Rach played a key role in supporting Meg as well as driving the values and culture of the team and while she leaves big shoes to fill, I’m looking forward to helping lead this side alongside Meg and Shell.
A well-deserved honour for a legend of our team!
