Former RCB all-rounder Sophie Molineux has been named the new captain of the Australian women’s cricket team, taking over from Alyssa Healy in all three formats.

The 28-year-old spin-bowling all-rounder will first lead the T20 team when Australia hosts India in an all-format series next month. She will then become captain of the ODI and Test teams during Australia’s tour of the Caribbean in March. Tahlia McGrath will continue as vice-captain. Ashleigh Gardner has also been promoted and will serve as joint vice-captain with McGrath.

Alyssa Healy recently spoke openly about her decision to retire from cricket. She said she had slowly stopped enjoying the game the way she once did. She also felt that age and injuries were catching up with her.

Healy said the last few years were more tiring for her mind than her body. She shared that injuries made it harder to stay motivated. She explained that her energy and passion were not as strong as before. 

“I have always loved competing and winning,” Healy said on Willow Talk. “But as I got older, I felt like I lost some of that edge.”

Selectors Make Tough Choices and Name New Captain

Selectors made some tough choices for the squads. Alana King was left out of the T20I team. Megan Schutt, Grace Harris, and Heather Graham were not picked for the ODI squad.

Many people expected Tahlia McGrath or Ashleigh Gardner to replace Alyssa Healy as captain. Both players had led the team before. However, Sophie Molineux was chosen instead. Molineux will become Australia’s ninth T20I captain when the first match is played at the SCG on February 15.

“It is a great honour to be named captain of Australia,” Molineux said. “I am very proud to follow Alyssa, who has had a big impact on this team and the game.” She added that the team has strong leaders and young talent, and she is excited to keep pushing the team forward.

Australia to Face India in All-Format Series

From February 15 to March 9, Australia will play India in an all-format series. The series will include three T20I matches, three ODI matches, and one Test match. The Test will be played after the T20I and ODI series.

For this home series, Cricket Australia announced squads for all formats. Alyssa Healy will captain the ODI and Test teams. Sophie Molineux will act as her deputy in both formats.

Nicola Carey returns to the white-ball squads after time away. Young fast bowler Lucy Hamilton, aged 19, could make her Test debut against India. Phoebe Litchfield has been named in all three squads, even though she was ruled out of the rest of the Women’s Premier League due to a quad injury.

Cricket Australia (CA) is set to declare a new captain for the upcoming women’s national side across all three formats following the retirement of Alyssa Healy. The reports claimed that the former all-rounder of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from the Women’s Premier League (WPL), Sophie Molineux, is expected to be named their all-format captain. 

Healy confirmed that she will retire from international cricket, with the home series against India in February-March, which will be Healy’s final assignment. The wicket-keeper batter also decided not to feature in the T2I0Is, as the team will need time to shape a new leader ahead of the T20 World Cup later in 2026.

It was a surprising factor as many thought that perhaps Tahila McGrath would be chosen as the new captain of the national side. He has leadership experience, having captained the Melbourne Renegades since the 2021 season. Under her, the team reached the finals of the 2024/25 edition of the tournament.

Sophie Molineux set to become new Australia women's captain 

Sophie has picked up overall 41 wickets in 38 innings of the shortest format at an average of 18.68, a strike rate of 19.3, and an economy rate of under six, thanks to the best bowling figures of 4/16 in an innings. She has been part of 17 ODIs where she picked up 31 wickets at an average of 17 and a strike rate of 26.1 and an economy rate of 3.89, thanks to the best figures of 4/14.

In the last and only season of the WPL for the Bengaluru franchise, Molineux has collected 12 wickets in 10 innings at an average of 23.16 and a strike rate of 19 and an economy rate of 7.31, thanks to the best figures of 3/20 in an innings.

“It's been a long time coming. The last few years have probably more mentally draining than anything else. A few injuries. I've got to dive into the well, and the well is getting less and less full of water. Getting harder to dive back in there. I've always felt like I've had a competitive edge in that I want to compete, I want to win, and I want to challenge myself on the park.” Healy addressed.

Smriti Mandhana played a brilliant knock of 96 runs off 61 balls as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) by eight wickets in match number 11 of WPL 2026. The match was played at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Saturday, January 17. With this win, RCB stayed unbeaten in the tournament, winning all four of their matches so far.

RCB bowled first after winning the toss and restricted Delhi to 166 runs. Shafali Verma was the top scorer for DC with 62 runs off 41 balls. During the chase, Mandhana led RCB from the start. She hit 13 fours and three sixes. She also shared a big 142-run partnership for the second wicket with Georgia Voll, who scored 54 not out off 42 balls.

Mandhana was close to scoring a century but got out for 96 after a great catch by Lucy Hamilton. After this strong innings by the RCB captain against DC in Navi Mumbai, we now look at the five batters who have scored the highest individual runs in the history of the WPL.

5. Smriti Mandhana (96 off 61) vs DC, Navi Mumbai – WPL 2026

RCB captain Smriti Mandhana is fifth on the list of highest individual scores in the WPL. She played a superb knock of 96 against the Delhi Capitals in Navi Mumbai, which lasted 74 minutes. RCB lost Grace Harris early for one run, but Mandhana and Georgia Voll came together and guided the team to a big win.

Mandhana attacked Lucy Hamilton early and hit her for three fours in the second over. In the final over of the powerplay, she hit a slower ball from Nandni Sharma for a six over deep midwicket. She then hit back-to-back fours off Shree Charani. Mandhana reached her fifty in 31 balls and looked set for a hundred before Hamilton took a brilliant catch to dismiss her.

4. Beth Mooney (96 off 59) vs UPW, Lucknow – WPL 2025*

Beth Mooney scored an unbeaten 96 off 59 balls for Gujarat Giants against UP Warriorz at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Batting first, GG posted a strong total of 186 for five. Mooney hit 17 fours and missed her century by just four runs. She was named Player of the Match as GG won by 81 runs.

After starting slowly, Mooney hit two fours off Deepti Sharma in the fourth over. She reached her fifty in 37 balls with a boundary in the 12th over. Mooney then hit three fours in a row off Kranti Gaud. She went into the last over on 90 but managed only one four off Sophie Ecclestone.

3. Alyssa Healy (96 off 47) vs RCB, Mumbai – WPL 2023*

Alyssa Healy played a brilliant knock of 96 not out off 47 balls for UP Warriorz against RCB at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. She hit 18 fours and one six as UPW chased 139 without losing a wicket and with many balls left.

Healy hit consecutive fours off Shreyanka Patil early in the innings. In the last over of the power play, she again attacked Patil and hit three more boundaries. After reaching fifty in 29 balls, she smashed Renuka Singh for four fours in a row. Healy hit the winning runs but missed her century.

2. Sophie Devine (99 off 36) vs GG, Mumbai – WPL 2023

Sophie Devine missed a hundred by just one run while playing for RCB against Gujarat Giants at the Brabourne Stadium. Chasing 189, Devine smashed 99 off only 36 balls. She hit nine fours and eight sixes and helped RCB win the match by eight wickets.

Devine started fast and attacked Ashleigh Gardner in the second over, hitting two sixes and three fours. She reached her fifty in just 20 balls by hitting Harleen Deol for a six. Devine continued to score freely but was caught at mid-off, missing out on a well-deserved century.

1. Georgia Voll (99 off 56) vs RCB, Lucknow – WPL 2025*

Georgia Voll holds the record for the highest individual score in WPL history. She scored an unbeaten 99 off 56 balls for UP Warriorz against RCB in Lucknow. Her innings included 17 fours and one six as UPW won the match by 12 runs.

Voll started well by hitting Renuka Singh for three fours in one over. She then hit Charlie Dean for a six and two more fours. Voll reached her fifty in 31 balls and kept finding boundaries. She needed two runs off the last ball for her hundred but remained on 99 not out after Deepti Sharma was run out.

Alyssa Healy has made a surprise announcement that she will retire from all forms of cricket after Australia’s home series against India in February–March 2026.

Healy will play in the three ODIs and the one-off Test at the WACA before ending her brilliant 16-year international career. During this period, she won six T20 World Cups and two ODI World Cups with Australia.

Healy will not take part in the T20I matches, as she will also miss the T20 World Cup. Speaking on the Willow Talk podcast, Healy said, “It’s been a long time coming. The last few years have been more mentally draining than anything else. I have had a few injuries, and it has become harder to push myself the way I used to.”

She added that while she still wants to compete and win, she feels that some of her competitive edge has faded with age. With Healy stepping down and the T20 World Cup approaching, Australia will now begin looking at options to replace her as captain.

Here are five players who could replace Alyssa Healy as the next Australian captain.

1. Ashleigh Gardner

Star all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner is a strong option to replace Alyssa Healy as Australia’s next captain. She currently leads the Sydney Sixers in the WBBL and the Gujarat Giants in the WPL.

Sixers coach Matthew Mott has spoken highly of her leadership and said she could “become one of the best leaders ever produced in Australian cricket.”

2. Ellyse Perry

Legendary all-rounder Ellyse Perry is another strong candidate. Although she has never captained Australia, Perry has plenty of leadership experience in the WBBL, where she has led teams in 150 matches.

3. Phoebe Litchfield

Young star Phoebe Litchfield is a long-term captaincy option for Australia. At just 22 years old, she could lead the team for many years. She is a talented batter and is seen as one of the future stars of Australian cricket.

While some may feel she is too young, it is worth noting that Meg Lanning became Australia captain in 2014 when she was not even 22.

4. Tahlia McGrath

Star all-rounder Tahlia McGrath is another option. She has been Australia’s vice-captain since 2023. However, her recent form may work against her. In the ongoing WBBL, McGrath has averaged 14 and has taken only five wickets in 10 matches.

5. Beth Mooney

Beth Mooney is another possible captaincy choice. The wicketkeeper-batter is known for performing well in big matches, especially in World Cup knockout games.

However, she has limited captaincy experience. So far, she has led teams in only 22 T20 matches in her career.

Alyssa Healy, the Australia captain and one of the most successful players of all-time with eight World Cup titles, will retire from the all-format home series against India in February-March 2026. She was named as the full-time successor of Meg Lenning in late 2023 and won’t feature in the T20I leg of the India series to help the team build towards the T20 World Cup later in the year. 

Healy will play the ODIs for Australiabefore finishing her career with an 11th Test cap in the day-night encounter at the WACA from March 6-9. There were thoughts of her calling time on her career, but the sudden nature of the decision was surprising. However, it was a forced decision due to not playing in the T20 World Cup 2026 in England.

“It's been a long time coming. The last few years have probably more mentally draining than anything else. A few injuries. I've got to dive into the well, and the well is getting less and less full of water. Getting harder to dive back in there. 've always felt like I've had a competitive edge in that I want to compete, I want to win, and I want to challenge myself on the park.” Healy said on Willow Talk.

Alyssa Healy’s retirement edit goes viral

Healy currently has drilled 3054 runs in 143 innings of the Women’s T20Is at an average of 25.45 and a strike rate of 129.79, thanks to her one century and 17 half-centuries at the best score of unbeaten 148runs. In the longest format, she claimed 489 runs in 16 innings at 30.56 with three half-centuries.

“There might be a little bit of change within that series [against India] leading into the World Cup, and some leadership stuff. But for me, the opportunity to play at home, still captain the team in that series is going to be really special.” She addressed.

“I never wanted to announce it, wanted to get to the end of the Test match [against India, starting March 6 in Perth], but with me not going into the T20 World Cup, it's forced a little bit of change. Not a lot of T20 cricket leading into that for the girls, so it's probably the place for me to decide on that format.” Healy concluded.

Massive update ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026. A legendary batter is all set to step away from international cricket. The retirement news came as a major shock ahead of ICC's elite tournament. 

As per reports, Australian cricket legend Alyssa Healy has announced her retirement from international cricket. While speaking to the Willow Talk podcast on Tuesday, the Australia skipper informed them that the upcoming home series against India will be her last international assignment as an active cricketer. The news of Alyssa Healy's retirement spread across social media platforms like a wildfire. The retirement of Health will mark the end of her illustrious 16-year career. 

During the conversation Healy informed us that she had been thinking about retirement for the last few months. She felt that he missed the spark that kept her driven all the way through international cricket for years. So, the captain decided to step down.

"It’s with mixed emotions that the upcoming India series will be my last for Australia. 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." Healy, 35, said. 

For the last 16 years, the batter took part in every possible tournament, which may have affected her mental health as well. Retirement is always a tough issue to tackle for a player. But at this point, Healy is really excited before her last match in front of the home crowd. 

Alyssa Healy reveals why she decided to retire 

"Every contest I wanted to be a part of and wanted to compete in, and it’s probably drained me a bit more over the years. The opportunity to finish at home is something I really wanted to do. When it comes to retirement, it’s quite daunting for a lot of people, but standing here right now, I’m really excited," she added. 

After making her international debut in 2010, Alyssa Healy has represented Australia in 10 Tests, 123 ODIs, and 162 T20 Internationals. She has played nearly 300 international matches in her career, scoring over 7,000 runs across all formats. During her cricket career, Healy has been part of eight ICC World Cup-winning teams. 

Sydney Sixers Women and Perth Scorchers Women will face off in the Challenger match of WBBL 2025, which will be held at North Sydney Oval, Sydney on Thursday. The Sydney Sixers Women finished their league stage in second place on the point table with 6 wins and 3 losses. Perth Scorchers Women finished their league season in third place with 6 wins and 4 losses.

This match is crucial because the winner will advance to the finals to play the Hobart Hurricanes, so no team can afford to have a negative day. These two teams met at the league stage, and the Sydney Sixers Women scored a comfortable win.

SS-W vs ST-W Match FAQs

The Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 auction was full of action from start to finish, with some of the biggest names in women’s cricket going under the hammer. While some franchises added several big-ticket players in a major overhaul, others made only small changes to their squads to perform better next season.

The Mumbai Indians (MI) continue to have a strong roster as they aim for a third WPL title next year. Meanwhile, teams like the UP Warriors and Gujarat Giants (GG) strengthened their squads with key additions in the auction. Surprisingly, a few well-known overseas and Indian players did not get any buyers and went unsold.

Here are the five marquee players who shockingly went unsold at the 2026 WPL auction.

1. Alyssa Healy

Australian captain Alyssa Healy was the biggest name that went unsold at the WPL 2026 auction. The 35-year-old played for the UP Warriors in the first two WPL seasons but missed the 2025 season due to an injury.

The franchise released Healy ahead of the auction after missing the playoffs in the last two editions.

Healy has impressive WPL stats, with an average of nearly 27 and a strike rate of over 130 in 17 matches. She can also keep wickets and lead the team, making her absence from any squad surprising.

Although her form in the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) is not great, she performed brilliantly in the 50-over World Cup in India. She scored 299 runs in five matches at an average of almost 75 and a strike rate of 125.10, finishing as the sixth-highest run-scorer.

2. Alana King

Another Australian star, Alana King, went unsold at the WPL 2026 auction despite excellent recent white-ball form. The 20-year-old took 13 wickets in seven matches during the 2025 ODI World Cup, finishing among the top five wicket-takers with an average of 17.38 and an economy of 4.03.

King also contributes with the bat, including a match-winning 51* against Pakistan in the tournament. She played only one game for the UP Warriorz last season.

With her ability to bat and bowl, it is surprising that franchises showed no interest in King at the auction.

3. Sabbhineni Meghana

Indian opener Sabbhineni Meghana was the most surprising unsold Indian player at the WPL 2026 auction. After a poor first season with Gujarat Giants in 2023, the 29-year-old impressed with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the last two editions.

Meghana averaged 33.60 at a strike rate of almost 113 in seven matches during RCB’s title run in 2024. She played only two games in 2025 but scored at an incredible strike rate of 212.

With her best years ahead, Meghana’s exclusion from all squads is surprising.

4. Alice Capsey

All-rounders are highly valued in T20 cricket, and England’s Alice Capsey has been one of the best in the WPL. The 21-year-old batting all-rounder played 18 WPL matches, all for Delhi Capitals (DC).

Although her recent performances have dipped, Capsey has a batting average of 27 with a strike rate of almost 134, and she has taken 11 wickets at an average of 20.45. She helped DC finish at the top of the points table in all three WPL seasons.

Surprisingly, Capsey did not attract any bids in the 2026 auction.

5. Tazmin Brits

South African veteran Tazmin Brits also went unsold at the 2026 WPL auction. The 34-year-old has a strong T20I record, scoring over 1,700 runs in 68 matches at an average of 32.43 and a strike rate of almost 107.

Brits can also keep wickets, making her a valuable player. She has been in excellent T20I form this year, averaging 66 with a strike rate over 122. Her omission at the auction was a major surprise.

The 26th T20 match of WBBL 2025 between Sydney Sixers Women and Brisbane Heat Women will take place at Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Friday. Sydney Sixers have been performing well since the start of the new season of the Women's Big Bash League. They are in the 4th spot in the point table with 3 wins and 2 losses.

The Brisbane Heat Women are going through a tough time this year. They are at the bottom of the point table with 6 losses. Brisbane Heat has failed to win a single match, and with every loss, their team morale is going down.
