Grace Harris steps up to the pitch in place of the sidelined Darcie Brown for the thrilling Bangladesh ODIs!

ICC
Darcie Brown has played seven ODIs and nine T20Is in the last year.

A New Addition to Australia’s ODI Squad

Grace Harris has stepped into the limelight as she replaces Darcie Brown in Australia’s ODI squad for their upcoming tour of Bangladesh. This change comes as Brown faces a setback due to a navicular stress injury in her left foot. While the exact timeline for Brown’s return remains uncertain, Cricket Australia assures that updates will follow in due course.

Harris’s Swift Transition

Initially selected only for the T20Is, Harris’s role has now expanded, requiring her presence in Bangladesh sooner than anticipated. Her recent stint with UP Warriorz in the WPL has concluded after the team failed to secure a playoff spot. Notably, no replacement for Brown has been named in the T20I squad.

Squad Dynamics: Shifting Priorities

In another twist, allrounder Heather Graham, previously on standby, is now unavailable due to illness. Meanwhile, the squad sees adjustments with Jess Jonassen’s omission and Tayla Vlaeminck’s well-deserved recall.

The Upcoming Tour

Australia’s tour of Bangladesh marks a significant milestone, being their inaugural visit to the nation. Commencing on March 21, the tour encompasses three ODIs and an equal number of T20Is, all contributing to the Women’s Championship.

Championship Dynamics

Currently leading the table with ten victories in 15 matches, Australia showcases formidable strength. In contrast, Bangladesh occupies the seventh spot with four wins from their 15 games.

Updated Squad Roster

The revised Australia squad for the Bangladesh tour includes:

  • Alyssa Healy (capt)
  • Ash Gardner
  • Kim Garth
  • Grace Harris
  • Alana King
  • Phoebe Litchfield
  • Tahlia McGrath
  • Sophie Molineux
