Cricket World Cup: Australia great Meg Lanning believes young opener Phoebe Litchfield has the potential to outshine a strong group of contenders and succeed Alyssa Healy as the next Australian ODI captain.

Healy, who took over the role from Lanning following the two-time ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup winner’s retirement from international cricket at the end of 2023, is now 35 and gradually nearing the twilight of her career.

Lanning spoke in depth about Australia's recent Cricket World Cup campaign with host Nikhil Uttamchandani on the most recent episode of The ICC Review, and she acknowledged the long list of potential candidates the Aussies have at their disposal, who could take over from Healy in the future.
