Historic Women's Ashes Test at MCG to Conclude 2025 Series

Australia's Alyssa Healy returns as captain despite knee concerns, while Sophie Molineux is ruled out following surgery.

The 2025 Women's Ashes series will culminate with the first women's Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 76 years, scheduled as a day-night match from January 30 to February 2.
Australia captain Alyssa Healy, recovering from a knee injury, is set to lead the team and may resume wicketkeeping duties during the series.
All-rounder Sophie Molineux has been ruled out of the series due to a knee injury requiring surgery, leaving a gap in Australia's spin bowling options.
The multi-format series includes three ODIs, three T20s, and the Test, with Australia defending their title after retaining the Ashes in 2023 following an 8-8 draw.
Australia's squad features a mix of veterans like Ellyse Perry and emerging talents such as Georgia Voll, while England's team is led by Heather Knight across all formats.
