Australia captain Alyssa Healy went unsold at the WPL 2026 Auction in New Delhi on Thursday after attracting no bids in the marquee set. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter, however, could still find a franchise later during the accelerated round.

Healy missed the previous WPL season due to a recurring foot injury that flared up during last year’s T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Across the first two seasons of the league, she captained UP Warriorz.

In 17 WPL matches so far, Healy has scored 428 runs. Her unbeaten 96 off 61 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the inaugural season remains the joint second-highest individual score in the tournament’s history.

At the international level, Healy is a cornerstone of Australia’s golden era, having been part of six T20 World Cup-winning squads and two ODI World Cup triumphs. Most recently, she led Australia to the semifinals of the 2025 ODI World Cup, where it lost to eventual champion India.
