Australia Selects Uncapped Nicole Faltum for New Zealand T20I Series

Australia has named uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Nicole Faltum in their 14-player squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against New Zealand. Faltum, 25, will serve as back-up to regular wicketkeeper Beth Mooney.

The squad is led by Tahlia McGrath, with Ashleigh Gardner as vice-captain, following the absence of regular skipper Alyssa Healy, who is recovering from a foot injury sustained during the Women's Ashes.

Key Points:

  • Nicole Faltum makes her debut in the squad, providing depth and experience after eight seasons in the Women's Big Bash League.
  • Alyssa Healy is sidelined with a foot injury but is targeting a return for the World Cup later this year.
  • The series begins on March 21, with matches at Eden Park (Auckland), Bay Oval (Tauranga), and Sky Stadium (Wellington).

Australia T20I Squad:

  • Tahlia McGrath (Captain)
  • Ashleigh Gardner (Vice-Captain)
  • Darcie Brown
  • Nicole Faltum

  • Grace Harris
  • Alana King
  • Phoebe Litchfield
  • Beth Mooney
  • Ellyse Perry
  • Megan Schutt
  • Annabel Sutherland

The series will be a key opportunity for the squad to build momentum ahead of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup later this year.
