Australia Captain Alyssa Healy Announces Retirement After India Series

Australian cricket captain Alyssa Healy has announced her retirement from all formats of the game, with the upcoming home series against India marking her final international assignment. The 35-year-old wicketkeeper-batter cited a loss of competitive edge and mental drain as reasons for her decision. Healy will play in the ODIs and the one-off Test against India but will not participate in the T20Is, allowing the team to prepare for the T20 World Cup. She retires after a distinguished 16-year career, having won eight World Cup titles and holding numerous records.
