India-W Give Guard Of Honor To Australia ODI Captain Alyssa Healy

India-W won the toss at Hobart and opted to field first, and Alyssa Healy alongside Phoebe Litchfield opened for the Aussie side. As Healy was walking out of the dugout with a bat, she was suddenly greeted by the Indian women lining up for her to pay a tribute to her illustrious career for the Australian cricket team.

Notably, the former skipper recently announced her retirement from all formats of the game on the Willow Talk podcast. She shared, "It's with mixed emotions that the upcoming India series will be my last for Australia. I still love playing for my country, but I feel the competitive edge that's driven me for so long isn't quite the same anymore."

She further added, "The timing feels right. I won't be going to the T20 World Cup this year and, given the limited preparation time the team has, I won't be part of the T20s against India."
