Getting the call-up…

Our women’s cricket T20 World Cup squad has been named, but as the tournament’s most successful side/defending champs, it’s not an easy squad to crack… Veteran Jess Jonassen is the most high-profile player to miss out despite being on 5 of our T20 World Cup-winning teams since 2012. As for who made the list, batter Alyssa Healey is captaining the team in a World Cup for the first time. She’ll be joined by 21yo Phoebe Litchfield, who is making her World Cup debut – with team officials saying she’ll bring “a real x-factor”. Our World Cup opener is against Sri Lanka in the United Arab Emirates (after being moved from Bangladesh over its deadly political turmoil) on 4 October. If you want a fix before then, a 3-match T20 series against our Kiwi cuzzies kicks off in the Sunshine State from 19 September.
