Healy made his debut for Australia in 2010 and scored 3563 runs with seven centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 3054 runs with one century in T20Is, besides taking 275 wickets behind the stumps. Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said ‘Alyssa is one of cricket’s greatest players and has made an invaluable contribution both on and off the field during her 15-year career.’
Alyssa Healy, who dominated and then captained the Australian women’s cricket team for more than 15 years, has announced her retirement. Healy, who won six T20Is and three ODI World Cups for Australia, has confirmed that she will retire from international cricket after the series in India.
“I have mixed feelings about announcing that the upcoming India tour will be my last series for Australia. My passion to play for Australia remains intact, but the competitive spirit that drove me from the start has waned, so I feel now is the right time to retire. I will miss my teammates, sing the team song, and open the batting for Australia,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.

Alyssa Healy’s uncle was legendary Australian wicketkeeper Ian Starc, and her husband is fast bowler Mitchell Starc, but this female cricketer has carved a unique niche for herself. Alyssa, who made his debut in January 2011, has already retired from T20Is. She will make her final appearance in Australia’s yellow jersey during three ODIs and a Test against India in February and March.
