Australia captain Alyssa Healy ruled out of Women’s World Cup 2025 match against England due to calf injury. Tahlia McGrath to lead the team in her absence. Stay updated on team news and match details.
In a major setback for Australia, skipper Alyssa Healy has been ruled out of the crucial Women’s World Cup 2025 league stage match against England, scheduled for Wednesday, October 22. Alyssa Healy , who has been the tournament’s highest run-scorer with an impressive 294 runs, suffered a calf strain during a training session on Saturday and will miss the upcoming clash in Indore.
Alyssa Healy’s injury raises concerns for the Australian team as they await her fitness assessment ahead of their final group stage match against South Africa on October 25. In her absence, Tahlia McGrath will take over the captaincy, while Beth Mooney is set to assume wicketkeeping duties. Additionally, young opener Georgia Voll is likely to be given an opportunity in the top order.
Australia has already secured a spot in the semifinals and currently leads the points table with nine points from five matches. Alongside England, Australia remains one of only two unbeaten teams in the tournament. Despite their top position, the competition remains fierce, with only one point separating the top three teams, including South Africa in third place. Four teams continue to battle for the final semifinal berth.

The venue and timing for Australia’s semifinal match remain uncertain. If Pakistan manages to qualify for the semifinals, one match is expected to be held in Colombo, otherwise, Guwahati will host both semifinals.
Alyssa Healy has been in exceptional form throughout the tournament, scoring two centuries including a brilliant 142 against India during a record-breaking chase of 331 runs — the highest successful chase in the history of women’s ODI cricket. She also contributed an unbeaten 113 against Bangladesh, playing a pivotal role in Australia’s victories.
Despite this setback, Australia remains a strong contender, with hopes that Alyssa Healy will recover in time to return for the knockout stages and continue leading the team’s charge toward World Cup glory.
