Australia's captain Alyssa Healy has announced her retirement from all forms of cricket after the upcoming multi-format home series against India in February-March. She shared that she won't be participating in the T20Is, as the team gears up for this year's T20 World Cup, but she will lead Australia in the ODIs and a one-off day-night Test in Perth. Alyssa, the niece of former Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy, made her international debut back in 2010 at just 19 years old during a series against New Zealand. By the end of her career, she will have played 162 T20Is, 126 ODIs, and 11 Tests for Australia, finishing with an impressive record of 126 dismissals in T20Is. Healy stepped into the role of Australia's full-time captain in 2023 after Meg Lanning's retirement. One of her standout achievements as captain was leading Australia to a remarkable 16-0 multi-format Ashes whitewash against England. Under her leadership, Australia also made it to the semi-finals in both the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup and the 2025 Women's World Cup. "It's with mixed emotions that the upcoming India series will be my last for Australa, I still love playing for my country, but I feel the competitive edge that's driven me for so long isn't quite the same anymore. The timing feels right". Alyssa Healy’s Legacy: World Cups, Records and ICC Honors Regarded as one of the most explosive batters and exceptional wicketkeepers in women's cricket, she has been part of eight ICC World Cup-winning campaigns (six T20 and two ODI) and holds several records, including the highest individual score in a World Cup final and the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in women's T20Is. Additionally, she was part of the Australian team that clinched gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Her individual honors include the Belinda Clark Award in 2019 and two ICC Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year awards (2018 and 2019). On the domestic front, Healy played for the Sydney Sixers, racking up over 3,000 runs over 11 seasons in the Women's Big Bash League and securing two titles. She also participated in two seasons of the Women's Premier League, where she captained the UP Warriorz.
