Australia captain Alyssa Healy has announced her retirement date from all forms of cricket, following the upcoming multi-format home series against India in February and March.
Confirming that she will not be featuring in the T20Is, Healy cited Australia’s preparations for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, but will be captaining the ODI side and One-off day-night test at Perth.
Alyssa Healy made her international debut in 2010 in a series against New Zealand. She is set to finish with 162 T20Is, 126 ODIs and 11 Test caps for Australia. Alyssa Healy will also end her career with a record 126 dismissals in T20Is.
Healy took over as Australia’s full-time captain in 2023 following Meg Lanning’s retirement. Her most notable milestone as a captain was leading the side to a 16-0 multi-format Ashes whitewash of England.
Australia also reached the semi-finals in both the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup and the 2025 Women’s World Cup under Healy.
Considered one of the most destructive batters and finest wk-batters, she was part of eight ICC World Cup-winning campaigns and holds several records, including the highest individual score in a World Cup final and the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in women’s T20Is.
Alyssa Healy represented Sydney Sixers, amassing over 3,000 runs across 11 seasons in the Women’s BBL and won two titles.
Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg hailed Alyssa Healy’s impact on the game, calling her ‘one of the all-time greats’ and praising her influence both on and off the field.
India’s Women’s tour of Australia 2026 will begin with a T20I series with the first match to be played on February 15 at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney.
