Manchester Super Giants: The most successful captain in the history of women's cricket, Meg Lanning, believes that the Australian side is entering an exciting new phase following the retirement of veteran wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy from international cricket.

Healy brought the curtain down on her decade-long international career after Australia’s victory over India in a multi-format series. The wicketkeeper-batter led the side in the ODIs and the one-off Test at the WACA Ground. Under her leadership, Australia swept the ODI series 3-0 and secured a dominant ten-wicket win in the pink-ball Test.

Following Healy’s retirement, all-rounder Sophie Molineux has been appointed as the new captain of the side. She had earlier led Australia during the T20I series against India, which Healy missed, though the hosts went down 2-1.
