Dubai, Aug 1 (Ians) Australia’s dominant 2-0 Odi series triumph over Ireland in Dublin has seen a majority of their players make big moves in the latest update to the Icc Women’s Player Rankings.
Australia’s off-spin all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, who also won the Icc Women’s Player of the Month for June 2023, reached career-best ranking in all three lists starting with jumping five slots from 21st to 16th and 579 rating points in the batters list after a quick-fire 65 from 39 deliveries in the second match.

Dublin, July 23 (Ians) All-rounder Heather Graham has been ruled out of Australia’s upcoming women’s Odi series against Ireland due to a calf strain. Cricket Australia (CA) added that uncapped allrounder Tess Flintoff will be Heather’s replacement for the three-game series.

Nottingham, June 23 (Ians) Australia women’s cricket team has a new star on their hands in Annabel Sutherland, who smashed a record-breaking ton on Day 2 of their one-off Ashes Test against England Women, here on Friday.
The talented 21-year-old resumed play at Trent Bridge on 39 not out having come in down at number eight in a lengthy Australian batting line-up. And she was still out in the middle midway through the afternoon session as Australia’s innings finally came to an end, with the all-rounder unbeaten on 137 not out.
She followed it up by removing England opener Emma Lamb with an excellent delivery that just left the right-hander and tempted an edge through to second slip.
And speaking after her superb century, Sutherland said it was terrific to get the opportunity to show what she can do.
“It was pretty good fun out there. I absolutely love my batting so...

Cape Town, Feb 22 (Ians) As expected, India have made it to the semifinals of 2023 Icc Womens T20 World Cup in South Africa. But to get their ticket to the final, scheduled on February 26, they must overcome the challenge in the form of mighty Australia in the first semi-final of the competition on Thursday.
Australia, also the defending champions, head into the semi-finals as firm favourites, especially with a 3-2 upper hand over India in Women’s T20 World Cup matches. Moreover, Australia got the better of India in the 2020 T20 World Cup final and Commonwealth Games gold medal match last year.
Australia had also won a five-game T20I series in India 4-1, apart from a warm-up match victory earlier in the month. But they will be wary of India’s giant-killing instinct, a glimpse of which was seen when they secured a thrilling super-over victory in the second game...

Gqeberha (South Africa), Feb 19 (Ians) Australia are confident that vice-captain Alyssa Healy will be fit to return for Thursday’s cut-throat semi-final at the Icc Women’s T20 World Cup.
Healy sat out Australia’s emphatic six-wicket victory over South Africa on Saturday with a quad concern, but the injury was only minor according to team management.
The experienced wicket-keeper batter only just recovered from a calf injury prior to the tournament and the decision to rest her for the match against the Proteas was purely to provide her with some extra rest, according to star all-rounder Tahlia McGrath.
“It was more of a precautionary measure with coming off a serious calf injury and with a pretty hectic schedule,” McGrath said.
“We expect her to be fully fit and ready to go for us in the semi-finals,” she added.
