Australia is one win away from retaining the women’s Ashes, and the next crop of emerging stars plan to pile on further pain in the future.
Phoebe Litchfield has a penchant for musical theatre, while on the evidence of social media, fellow rising star Georgia Voll can’t carry a tune.
With Australia needing just one more win to retain the multi-format women’s Ashes and three T20 clashes against England coming in the next week, the hosts’ emerging next generation is eyeing the future with relish. The trophy has already been in Australia’s possession since 2015. Litchfield will shuffle down the order for Monday’s T20 at the SCG. She has been on the radar since emerging as a teen prodigy who played alongside legends including Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara while stillVoll’s next chance in national colours could come this week given the series’ six limited-overs fixtures within a fortnight.
“When you put the ages to it, we’re definitely part of the next generation, and you want to be part of that,” Litchfield said.“To see Georgia Wareham, Bellesy and a group of young, really amazing players stepping up for the team, you can see Australian cricket is in good hands. “For Volly to come into international cricket, and pretty much just smash it out of the park, I’m really happy for her.“I think it’s a credit to Australian domestic cricket, she’s been scoring heaps of runs at that level and then came into and it looked effortless for her. It’s a pretty cool sign that Australian domestic cricket isn’t far off the international level.
