It had to come at some point in her career, and the moment is here. Alyssa Healy is set to retire from International cricket after the India series. She has been a player who has done almost everything for the Australian women’s cricket team and is also the captain of the Women’s team. Alyssa Healy was made the captain of the team in 2023 after being the successor of Meg Lanning, who herself has a legacy in Women’s cricket.
The Indian Women’s team is all set to begin their tour of Australia on 15th February. Basically, both teams will play a total of three T20Is, three ODIs, and one test match. Alyssa Healy won’t feature in the T20I series as she wants the team to prepare without her for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, which starts in June 2026 in England. She will feature in the ODI series, and her last match will be a test match at the Perth Stadium in Perth.

Alyssa Healy is set to retire from International cricket after India series
Basically, Alyssa Healy was born on 24 March 1990 in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. She made her debut for the Australian Women’s team in the ODI format against the New Zealand Women’s team. Just ten days later, she made her T20I debut in the same series playing against the New Zealand team. After a year of making her ODI and T20I debut, Alyssa Healy finally was able to make her test format debut. The England Women’s team was the one against whom she made his test format debut, and from then on she has never stopped.
From 2010 to date, Alyssa Healy has played more than 290 matches for the Australian Women’s team. In those matches, she has scored more than 6,000 international runs, which include 35 half-centuries and eight centuries. As she plays as a wicketkeeper batter, Alyssa Healy also has more than 250 dismissals in international cricket. She has the record for the most dismissals in the T20I format in cricket, which includes both men’s and women’s cricket.
Alyssa Healy holds the record for the highest individual score in Women’s T20 International when she scored 148* in just 61 balls against the Sri Lankan Women’s team. She has won a total of five Women’s T20 World Cups (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, and 2023) and also two ICC Women’s Cricket World Cups (2013 and 2022). Alyssa Healy won the ICC Women’s T20I Cricketer of the Year in back-to-back years in 2018 and 2019. Surely, it will be tough for the Australian team to replace her, but beautiful stories do come to an end. She would be proud of the legacy she left behind.
