Australia Announces Women's Ashes Squads for 2025

Cricket Australia has announced the ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming Women's Ashes series, with Alyssa Healy set to captain the team despite recent knee issues. Notably, all-rounder Sophie Molineux has been ruled out due to a knee injury that requires surgery, marking another setback as she has missed previous Ashes series due to injuries. The squad features key players including Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Voll, and Grace Harris, with Voll earning her spot after a strong debut series against India. The series will commence with three ODIs starting January 12 and conclude with a one-off Test on February 2, 2025. Selector Shawn Flegler expressed confidence in the team's recent performances and overall balance, despite Molineux's absence. Healy's ability to keep wicket during the series remains uncertain as she continues to assess her knee condition leading up to the matches.
