Alana King Strengthens Case For 2026 Women’s T20 WC Selection After Three-fer Against WI
T20 World Cup: Leg-spinner Alana King has strengthened her case for inclusion in Australia’s squad for the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup after marking her return to the format with a three-wicket haul against West Indies in St Vincent.
Alana, playing her first T20I in nearly a year, took 3-14 in the opening match of the series to remind selectors of her quality. Competition among Australia’s spinners remains strong, with captain Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham also in contention. But Alana said she was realistic but hopeful about her chances of entering Australia’s squad.
"I'd love to (see four spinners), but I don't think that's going to be the case with the T20 World Cup. I think it's all going to be conditions-based and we'll wait and see, but any chance that I can get the ball in my hand, I'm absolutely stoked.
