Alyssa Healy will captain Australia in a five-match T20I series in India . The series will be played between December 9 and 20 at the D.Y.
Mumbai (Maharashtra) India – On December 9, Alyssa Healy is looking forward to captaining the Australian team in a high-profile T20I series in India, claiming that she is a different leader than Meg Lanning, while full-time captain Meg Lanning is playing for Australia.Following Rachael Haynes' retirement, Healy was recently appointed vice-captain of the squad, and she will now be promoted to captain in Lanning's absence.Despite the fact that her leadership style will differ from Lannings, the wicketkeeper-batter is looking forward to the challenge.The lines are very blurry... there is a tiny bit of it, but it is an interesting one, and I think I have been given the freedom to make it mine and make it my job, Healy said ahead of the first T20I in Mumbai, as reported by the ICC.
For me, this series and this group are my responsibility right now, and for me, I am a very different leader than Meg, I have a different personality, and its about me simply putting my spin on it and making sure that I'm doing the best I can for this group to sustain the success we've had, she said.Healy said she loved tackling difficult situations and was pumped to lead Mumbai's team.It's not an easy job, but it's a challenge, and I love a challenge, and I love thrive in those high-pressure situations.Both teams will be involved in the five-match T20I series as they gear up for the T20 World Cup in South Africa, which will take place in 2023.
