Alyssa Healy is keen to take over from Meg Lanning as Australian cricket captain, with the star wicketkeeper-batter saying she would "100 percent" put her hand up for the job. Lanning retired from the international game last week after almost a decade in charge, leading Australia to four Twenty20 World Cup titles, one 50-over World Cup triumph and a Commonwealth Games gold. Healy, 33, is considered the frontrunner to take the reins, having filled in over the past 12 months while Lanning took time away from the game.
A Melbourne Stars side boasting Australia skipper Meg Lanning and several England internationals was bundled out for just 29 runs -- a record-low score in the women's Big Bash League. The previous low in the Twenty20 competition's eight seasons was the 66 posted by both Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes in 2017. The Stars' innings lasted just 57 legal deliveries, with no player making double figures against rampant defending champions Adelaide Strikers, who won by a crushing 148 runs.
Australia's dominant ODI series triumph over Ireland has seen a host of their stars rewarded on the latest ICC Women's Player Rankings. The reigning ICC Women's Cricket World Cup champions showed they remain one of the best one-day sides in the world as they cruised to a 2-0 series victory over Ireland in Dublin and it was star all-rounder Ash Gardner that once again led the way. Gardner was the joint leading wicket-taker during the series with four scalps and managed a score of 65 from her only innings and it meant the 26-year-old reached new career-high ratings in all three rankings categories.
Australia beat Ireland by 153 runs after a classy batting display in a one-day international in Dublin.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has regained her place in the top 10 of the latest ICC women's T20I batting rankings following her stellar show in the opening T20I of the three-match series against Bangladesh. Kaur's match-winning 54 not out off 35 balls while chasing 115 has lifted her four places to 10th position. Tahlia McGrath still leads the way with 784 rating points, closely followed by teammate Beth Mooney (777). Smriti Mandhana (728), Sophie Devine (683) and Bates (677) complete the top five.
