Post
|October 01, 2025
THE ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup kicked off yesterday in India and Sri Lanka.
This tournament promises not only fierce competition but also a showcase of emerging talent.
With a fresh wave of young cricketers primed to take the stage, here's a closer look at the standout players expected to light up the tournament from ball one.
Georgia Voll - Australia
Leading the charge for Australia is the sensational Georgia Voll. At just 22 years old, she has already made her mark in the One Day International (ODI) arena with an impressive average of 57.66 from four matches, having scored 173 runs, including a thundering century against India.
Voll looks to have the skill set to score runs in bunches, and she could help drive Australia to another lengthy World Cup run.
Alice Capsey - England
Armed with experience and talent despite still only being 21 years old, Capsey enters the World Cup with 26 ODI caps and recent domestic prowess that has included impressive performances in the Hundred tournament, where she scored two half-centuries and took 12 wickets.
The all-rounder averages 23.58 with the ball and 20.17 with the bat in the format, and is in fine domestic form coming into CWC 2025
Her all-round capabilities will be crucial for England as they strive for supremacy in the tournament.
Nishita Akter Nishi - Bangladesh
