Alyssa Healy says she's ready to lead the Australian women's cricket team this summer if called upon after being appointed as Meg Lanning's vice-captain.
Healy was officially named as the retired Rachael Haynes' replacement on Thursday, after previously filling in as a vice-captain last summer.
There is every chance the role could turn into that of stand-in skipper, with Lanning no guarantee to return from personal leave before a December T20 series in India.
