Healy\u2019s announcement received widespread reactions from the cricket community and Australia\u2019s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who praised her for her remarkable contributions to the sport. He also believed that Healy has the potential to become an excellent commentator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Alyssa Healy is a legend. She has had such an incredible career playing for Australia and leading Australia. The rise of women\u2019s cricket, which has in parallel seen a rise of other women\u2019s sports, is a great thing. It is a fantastic team that she has led. She is not only a great player, but she will also, I\u2019m sure, continue to evolve as I think she\u2019s a great cricket commentator,\" he said in a post shared on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mitchell Starc, Australia\u2019s ace pacer and Healy\u2019s partner, posted a photo of the cricketer celebrating her century against England on Instagram, with an orange heart as the caption, and also posted a picture on his Insta story, writing \u201cProud of ya.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cricket Australia posted a video in which former Aussie skipper Meg Lanning and Healy\u2019s current teammates Phoebe Litchfield and her deputy Tahlia McGrath commended her intent and skills as a captain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia\u2019s leading all-rounder, Ellyse Perry, who has seen Healy\u2019s career closely, also responded to her captain\u2019s retirement. She shared Cricket Australia\u2019s post praising Healy\u2019s impact on her Instagram story, writing \u2018irreplaceable\u2019 next to it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's with mixed emotions that the upcoming India series will be my last for Australia,\" Healy said while announcing retirement. \"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.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
