Healy’s announcement received widespread reactions from the cricket community and Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who praised her for her remarkable contributions to the sport. He also believed that Healy has the potential to become an excellent commentator.

"Alyssa Healy is a legend. She has had such an incredible career playing for Australia and leading Australia. The rise of women’s cricket, which has in parallel seen a rise of other women’s sports, is a great thing. It is a fantastic team that she has led. She is not only a great player, but she will also, I’m sure, continue to evolve as I think she’s a great cricket commentator," he said in a post shared on X.

Mitchell Starc, Australia’s ace pacer and Healy’s partner, posted a photo of the cricketer celebrating her century against England on Instagram, with an orange heart as the caption, and also posted a picture on his Insta story, writing “Proud of ya.”

Cricket Australia posted a video in which former Aussie skipper Meg Lanning and Healy’s current teammates Phoebe Litchfield and her deputy Tahlia McGrath commended her intent and skills as a captain.

Australia’s leading all-rounder, Ellyse Perry, who has seen Healy’s career closely, also responded to her captain’s retirement. She shared Cricket Australia’s post praising Healy’s impact on her Instagram story, writing ‘irreplaceable’ next to it.

"It's with mixed emotions that the upcoming India series will be my last for Australia," Healy said while announcing retirement. "I'm still passionate about playing for Australia, but I've somewhat lost that competitive edge that's kept me driven since the start, so the time feels right to call it a day."
