    I'll Grab It With Both Hands: Litchfield Open To Leading Australia After Lanning’s Endorsement

    By IANS News November 13, 2025 • 10:38 AM View: 208
    Cricket World Cup: Rising star Phoebe Litchfield has welcomed Meg Lanning’s endorsement of her as a future Australia captain, admitting she would seize the opportunity if it ever came her way.

    The 21-year-old opener responded after former skipper Lanning suggested that Litchfield would be the ideal successor to Alyssa Healy when the veteran wicketkeeper eventually steps down from the top job.

    Lanning’s comments came in the wake of Australia’s semi-final exit at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, where they fell to eventual champions India. The two-time World Cup–winning captain said it might still be too soon for major changes but hinted that Litchfield had the leadership qualities to guide the next generation.
