Australia Women Team : Australia women cricket team will be visiting India in December-January. The Indian women’s team will play a three-format series against Australia at home.
Before this tour Australia wicketkeeper batsman Lisa Healy has been named the team’s regular captain for all three formats.
Apart from this, Tahlia McGrath was given the responsibility of vice-captain. This change was made after Meg Lanning made a breakthrough in international cricket. In fact Alyssa Healy is the wife of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc.
Meanwhile, Meg Lanning was the backbone of the Australian team for a long time. In the future, the Australian team will tour India for the first time under the leadership of Healy, which will begin from December 21 with a Test match.

Starc’s wife has also captained the team before. As interim captain, she has captained England, Ireland and West Indies.
Apart from this, Tahlia McGrath, who became the vice-captain, has also taken charge of the Australian women’s team. She has led the team twice in Alyssa Healy’s absence.

She managed to score 286 runs in 12 Test innings, including two fifties. Apart from this, she scored 2761 runs while batting in 89 innings in ODIs.
