"The wicketkeeper-batter is set to finish with 162 T20I, 126 ODI and 11 Test caps for Australia, and a record 126 dismissals in T20Is"

Alyssa Healy, niece of legend Ian Healy, bows out from all cricket after captaining Australia in the ODIs and one-off Test against India in February-March 2026, skipping T20Is to aid World Cup prep.

Debuting in 2010 against New Zealand at 19, she amassed 162 T20Is, 126 ODIs, and 11 Tests, holding the record with 126 T20I dismissals. Taking over from Meg Lanning in 2023, her pinnacle was a stunning 16-0 Ashes whitewash over England, plus semi-final runs in the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 World Cup.

Captaincy Triumphs and Records

Healy's glove work and explosive batting redefined women's cricket, with world titles in T20 Cups (2010-2023) and ODI World Cups (2013, 2022). Her 148 off 61* vs Sri Lanka set the T20I runs record, while centuries like 133 vs India in 2018 and fiery 75 off 39 in the 2020 T20 final thrilled crowds. Named ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year in 2018, she leaves as a big-game maestro.
