ANALYSIS: A new era of Australian dominance is beginning in women's cricket
The Australian women's cricket team has started the year with a bang, despite a flury of movement.abc.net.au/news/new-era-of-dominance-women-cricket-meg-lanning-shelley-nitschke/101942020It's been a convincing start to the year for the Australian women's cricket team, with T20 and ODI series wins over Pakistan.
With key players retired, unavailable for selection or injured for the December T20I series in India, they were forced to make a few changes, something they'd avoided in the last few years. The team's coaching set-up was also going through a transition. Head coach Matthew Mott departed the camp in May.
Georgia Redmayne earned a call-up to the Australian squad after a successful stint in domestic cricket. Carrying on from her call-up in the T20I side, Litchfield made an impressive ODI debut against Pakistan in January, reminding everyone why she has leapfrogged many to make it to the world-champion Australian side.
The string of debuts was partially necessitated by the unavailability of Darcie Brown and Grace Harris, due to illness in the initial matches, and the loss of Jess Jonassen to injury. As the side goes into the upcoming T20 World Cup and the Ashes later in the year, it will carry the confidence – in its depth, its strategies, and its future – that it must have taken out of this success.Loading Twitter contentThe series against India also allowed coach Nitschke to come out from the shadow of Matthew Mott.
