Overview
- On Wednesday Mooney will play her 100th One-Day International for Australia in the third ODI against Bangladesh at Allan Border Field.
- Mooney has scored 3,288 ODI runs at a 49.81 average with six centuries and says she is not entertaining immediate retirement.
- She ranks among the world’s top batters in both formats and cites the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic T20 programme as a strong reason to keep playing.
- Younger openers Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield are changing the tempo of Australia’s 50-over game and offer a generational blend that supports Mooney’s continued role.
- Australia will not play another ODI until the 2027 Champions Trophy, with selection decisions now being shaped by Olympic prospects, the 2028 T20 calendar and the aim of 2029 World Cup redemption.
