Healy, 33, takes over after Meg Lanning’s shock retirementWicketkeeper-batter’s Test reign starts on December 21 v India
Alyssa Healy has been charged with leading Australia’s all-conquering women’s cricket team into a new era after officially replacing Meg Lanning as captain across all three formats.
The gun wicket-keeper batter Healy filled in for Lanning as captain for extended spells over the past two years, including this year’s Ashes. Now the 33-year-old, who was named vice-captain last year, will step into the role full-time after Lanning’s shock international retirement last month.
