The WAGs XI: The Ashes special

8. Alyssa Healy & Mitchell Starc

Alyssa, like her partner Starc, is a member of Australian Cricket team. Hailing from a cricketing family, with legendary Ian Healy as her uncle, Alyssa was always focused to make a mark as a cricketer. She followed the family tradition as she opted to become a wicket-keeper during her teens. At the age of 23, she has already represented the Aussies in the World T20 competition and has pretty much cemented here position in the starting XI. The couple incidentally met each other on a cricket field when they were played U-10 District cricket for the same side and have been seeing each other for a long time.

On being a part of the elite Aussie WAGs, Alyssa said, “It’s really interesting (being part of the WAG posse). Stereotypically, it’s a real girlie, girl situation and for someone like me who’s been a tomboy ever since she was born, it was quite interesting being thrown into that situation and thrown into the spotlight that way.”
