Cricket Australia (CA) announced the 15-member squad in January for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup 2023. The squad features the best of the bests in the T20Is, including the returning skipper Meg Lanning, Alyssa Healy, leg-spinner Georgia Wareham and all-rounder Ellyse Perry. After 15 months of break in the wake of her ACL rupture, the unexpected return of Georgia Wareham is a big boost to the side, along with the captain Meg Lanning who is also making her comeback after a pause of six months. Both players add the experience value to the Australia Women's camp ahead of the coveted event. Surprisingly, the batting genius Phoebe Litchfield and all-rounder Nicola Carey are dropped from the squad. The two are replaced by Kim Garth and Heather Graham, who made their debut against India in December last year.
