Starc responded to this with the emotive three word message ‘Proud of ya’ accompanied by a heart emoji that made the fans not only love him but also made him trend all over the social media for the honest and deep emotional expression. Healy’s retirement is the most significant moment in the history of women’s cricket until now as the 35-year-old player has been the pillar of the Australian success story across all formats. The player has been a part of almost 300 international matches, having scored more than 7,000 runs and taken 275 catches/stumpings along with leading the team to various World Cups including two 50 over titles and six T20 World Cups. The ending of her career coincides with the period of close to two decades during which she has transformed the image of a wicket keeper batter and unlocked new markets for women’s cricket globally. In her own words, she thinks it is the right moment for her to say goodbye as her competitive edge has naturally worn out after being on top for so long.
