Australian women’s team captain Alyssa Healy has announced that she will retire from all forms of cricket after the home series against India in Feb–March 2026. Healy, who took over full-time captaincy from Meg Lanning in 2023, will skip the T20Is but finish her career with the ODI series and the day-night Test at the WACA from March 6–9.

Healy said recent years had been mentally challenging and affected by injuries, and that her competitive edge had slightly faded. She added that extending her career until the 2026 T20 World Cup in England would not have been fair to her teammates and that finishing at home would be special.

Healy debuted in 2010 at age 19 and has scored 3500+ ODI runs and 3054 T20I runs, including a career-best 148* — the highest T20I score among full-member players. She holds the record for most T20I dismissals as wicketkeeper and has won eight World Cups across ODI and T20 formats.
