Australia Women’s Ashes 2023: A 15-person squad has been named by Cricket Australia for the forthcoming Women’s Ashes in 2023. Beginning on June 22 in Nottingham, the multi-format series between Australia and England is planned. One Test, three Twenty 20 Internationals (T20Is), and as many One Day Internationals (ODIs) make up Australia’s tour of England.
Phoebe Litchfield, a teenager, received her first call-up for the Ashes trip. The 19-year-old hitter defeated Pakistan in her first two ODIs, scoring back-to-back fifties. Instead of the all-arounder Heather Graham, she is a member of the team. Graham will go to England with the Ashes team, which is notable given that he has been named to Australia’s A squad.
All-rounder Kim Garth, who was picked to Australia’s Ashes Test squad, is also anticipated to make her debut in the game’s longest format. The 26-year-old cricketer recently took part in the Gujarat Giants Women’s debut of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). She put on a strong showing throughout the competition, taking 11 wickets from seven games, including an incredible five-wicket haul in the opening match.
Meg Lanning, who guided the team to another T20 World Cup in South Africa in February, will lead Australia under her leadership. In addition, she led the Delhi Capitals Women to the first WPL championship game. The 31-year-old hitter finished her WPL season as the top run-scorer with 345 runs despite losing to Mumbai Indians Women in the championship match.
Shawn Flegler, a national team selector for Cricket Australia, claimed that the side chosen by the selection committee was a close match to the one that won the T20 World Cup. Additionally, he mentioned that the board views Litchfield as a long-term member of the team.
“Now that the team has won the most recent T20 World Cup, attention is shifting to the thrilling task of defending the Ashes away from home. The team we chose is similar to the one that won the T20 World Cup in February because we have been fortunate to have a steady side in all forms over a previous couple of years. “We consider Phoebe Litchfield as a long-term player for Australia, and it’s pleasing to reward her improvement by selecting her for an Ashes team. Phoebe Litchfield has improved her game significantly over the past 12 months,” Shawn Flegler was cited as saying by cricket.com.au.
Australia squad: Meg Lanning (captain), Darcie Brown, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Alyssa Healy (wicketkeeper), Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham
