The verified profile
Alyssa Jean Healy built a more-than-16-year cricket career as a right-handed wicketkeeper-batter, pairing aggressive opening with elite work behind the stumps. Her career statistics include a 170 in the 2022 ODI World Cup final, a 148 not out in T20Is and a long Sydney Sixers WBBL career.
Factual references: Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5How to read the player
Healy’s significance is format-shaped: opening gave Australia early pressure and scoring power, while wicketkeeping supplied tactical value on every delivery. Her 2022 final 170 and 2025 World Cup 142 show the ceiling of that method; her post-2026 leadership coaching extends the same pressure-management lessons beyond cricket.

Personal background: wicketkeeper-batter identity
Alyssa Jean Healy was born in Gold Coast, Queensland, on 24 March 1990. Cricket Australia’s account places her early development in New South Wales representative cricket and records her 2007–08 debut for the Lendlease Breakers. She is an Australian right-handed wicketkeeper-batter. Question: Who is Alyssa Healy? Answer: She is an Australian former international wicketkeeper-batter and captain whose career combined aggressive opening batting with high-level work behind the stumps.
Professional journey and career debuts
Healy’s route ran from New South Wales representative cricket to Australia, the Sydney Sixers’ inaugural WBBL side and overseas franchise cricket. Cricket Australia records ODI and T20I debuts in 2010 and a Test debut in January 2011. She was named vice-captain in 2022 and became full-time captain after Meg Lanning’s retirement in 2023. The retained sources document that captaincy alongside the transition after Lanning’s retirement.
Playing career, formats and statistics
Healy’s international record is format-specific. Cricket Australia’s displayed snapshot lists 502 Test runs from 11 matches, 3,777 ODI runs from 126 matches and 3,054 T20I runs from 162 matches. Question: What are Alyssa Healy’s career statistics? Answer: The safest concise answer is the dated source snapshot: 502 Test runs, 3,777 ODI runs and 3,054 T20I runs, with format-specific catches and stumpings listed in the statistics section. In franchise cricket, the Sydney Sixers record 129 WBBL matches and 3,125 runs, while ESPNcricinfo’s displayed table records 428 WPL runs from 17 matches.
Playing style: power with the gloves
Healy’s defining method was a high-tempo opening game paired with specialist wicketkeeping. ESPNcricinfo describes her as a destructive batter who became outstanding behind the stumps and notes that she permanently moved to opening after the 2017 ODI World Cup. That change gave Australia a batter able to attack early overs while retaining the tactical value of a wicketkeeper who could influence the game every ball. Her 2019 unbeaten 148 from 61 balls and her 2022 final 170 show the ceiling of that approach, but the explanation is more useful than a highlight list: her role linked powerplay scoring, pressure on bowlers and fielding information.
Setbacks, adaptation and the 2025 World Cup 142
Healy’s rise was not linear. ESPNcricinfo records modest early returns—an average of 17.44 in her first 80 T20Is and 15.96 in her first 52 ODIs—before the permanent move to opening changed the shape of her career. The retained profile records injuries and her participation in the 2025 ODI World Cup. Question: What was Alyssa Healy’s biggest comeback moment? Answer: No official source defines one “comeback” label, but her 2025 World Cup 142 from 107 deliveries against India is a documented example of a major performance.
Post-playing work: High Performance Leadership Coach
Alyssa Healy is retired from cricket as of the 2026 retirement announcement, so this section describes documented work after playing rather than inventing a future playing status. On 2 October 2026, Westpac announced her appointment as High Performance Leadership Coach. The role uses lessons from elite sport in pressure management, leading through change, resilient teams and high-stakes decisions, and includes a focus on women’s leadership development. Question: What does Alyssa Healy do after cricket? Answer: The reviewed evidence supports her Westpac High Performance Leadership Coach role, announced on 2 October 2026.
Public ventures and documented partnerships
The strongest public non-playing record in the reviewed sources is Westpac’s formal coaching appointment, which is a leadership role rather than an ownership claim, salary claim or endorsement estimate. The source set does not establish a verified net-worth figure, private investment portfolio or other business ownership. Question: What is Alyssa Healy’s net worth? Answer: No reliable figure is established by the reviewed official and established sports sources, so this biography does not publish an estimate.
