The South Australian: Tahlia McGrath is ready to make her mark as Australia’s captain in the opening ODI against India on Thursday, marking her first full series at the helm.

The South Australian all-rounder has previously stepped into the leadership role mid-series or mid-tournament but now has the opportunity to guide the team from start to finish.

"I like to put my own spin on it. Every captain’s slightly different. This is the first time I’ve had a full series as captain, and I’m really excited to work alongside Ash Gardner in this new partnership," McGrath said.
