Georgia Voll-ts into Australian side off the back of stellar season
THE AUSTRALIAN selectors have been busy over the weekend, announcing the squads for the next two Australian Women’s limited overs series against India and New Zealand.
It is a very experienced side that has been named for both series, but the big name inclusion is Georgia Voll, who has been rewarded for a stellar WBBL season with the Sydney Thunder by being selected for the India series.
Meanwhile captain Alyssa Healy has been ruled out of the India series due to injury, but may play the series in New Zealand but it will depend on her fitness.
“We’ve chosen an experienced squad for these two upcoming tours with next year’s Ashes series and ICC Women’s World Cup very much very much the focus,” Cricket Australia’s head of performance and national selector Shawn Flegler said.
“Georgia Voll has had a strong start to the summer and has shown her potential over several years.
“She’ll form an exciting partnership with Phoebe Litchfield at the top of the order in what will be a great opportunity for her to get a taste of international cricket against a strong India side.
“The decision for Alyssa Healy to miss the India series was made with a longer-term view to the Ashes, with her availability for the New Zealand series to become clearer over the next few weeks.”
Australia is set to play India in Australia in early December, before jumping across the ditch to play New Zealand in a trio of matches just before Christmas.
