Ellyse Perry Back Alyssa Healy To Be Australia’s Full-time Captain Ahead Of India Tour
T20 World Cup: Premier fast-bowling all-rounder Ellyse Perry said she is expecting wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy to take over as Australia's new full-time captain after the international retirement of Meg Lanning.
Alyssa has stood in for Meg as the team’s captain over the last 12 months - in Australia’s tour of India, Women’s Ashes in England and the white-ball series against West Indies. With 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup and 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, plus a home Ashes series, Australia is expected to soon appoint a full-time captain ahead of a multi-format tour of India next month.
"Obviously Midge (Healy) has done that job a number of times across the last 18 months and she's done a great job with that. We have a strong leadership group with some really experienced players in our team. So my assumption would be that Midge will carry on doing it, but I don't have any further insight than that," Ellyse was quoted as saying by ABC Sport.
