Jess Jonassen misses out as Australia reveal T20I World Cup squad
Australia have named their 15-member squad for the Women’s T20I World Cup 2024, with Alyssa Healy set to lead the side. Australia will be vying for the fourth consecutive title as their squad is packed with star performers. Darcie Brown, who has recovered from a foot injury, has been named into the squad.
The same squad will be playing against New Zealand in the three-match T20I series next month. Notably, tremendous performer Jess Jonassen has been left out of Australia’s World Cup squad.
"This is the first time in a long time we've had our entire contract list available for selection ahead of a World Cup and it's resulted in a really stable and balanced squad," chief selector Shawn Flegler said.
"It's the first time Alyssa will have the reins at a World Cup and we've already seen what her and Tahlia bring from a leadership perspective, so it's exciting for them to have this opportunity to lead their country on the biggest stage.
"Phoebe is a real x-factor for us and will be well supported by an experienced group at her first World Cup. The pace duo of Tayla and Darcie is one we've been wanting to unleash for a while and is a real point of difference for us."
“Jess Jonassen is again unlucky to miss out, but we’ve been impressed with the way she’s bounced back, and we’ll continue to monitor her form ahead of the home summer.”
Australia squad: Alyssa Healy (c), Darcie Brown, Ash Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Tayla Vlaeminck, Georgia Wareham
