Alyssa Healy set to retire from cricket
Australians will soon bid farewell to one of their most incredible players, with Alyssa Healy confirming she will retire from all formats at the end of the upcoming home summer. The veteran star announced her decision on Tuesday, drawing the curtain on a distinguished career that has spanned almost 20 years. Healy’s final appearances in Australian colours will come during the multi-format series against India, which will conclude with a one-off Test match at Perth from March 6. Meanwhile, her exit from the shortest format will be immediate, as she has opted out of the three T20Is that begin India’s tour in February.
“It's with mixed emotions that the upcoming India series will be my last for Australia," she said in a statement.
"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."
“Knowing I won’t be going to the T20 World Cup this year and the limited preparation time the team has, I won’t be part of the T20s against India, but I’m excited to have the opportunity to finish my career and captain the ODI and test side at home against India — one of the biggest series on the calendar for us."
“I’ll genuinely miss my teammates, singing the team song and walking out to open the batting for Australia. Representing my country has been an incredible honour and I’m grateful for one last series in the green and gold.”
Over the course of her career, Healy remained a powerful force behind the stumps, having 296 dismissals. She will finish her career with 162 T20Is, 126 ODIs and 11 Tests.
