Georgia Voll was ecstatic as she cheered from her sofa when Australian spinner Jess Jonassen removed Anya Shrubsole to give her nation a seventh ICC Women's World Cup championship in 2022. The 18-year-old had no idea that three years later, she would play a significant role in her nation's attempt to become the first team to win the 50-over world championship again since 1988.

The 22-year-old Queensland native has gained widespread attention thanks to her performances, which include her first ODI century in just her second senior international match against India. Voll feels comfortable with Shelley Nitschke's team even though he walks into a dressing room full of game luminaries.

Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Update:

Voll, who hit 81 from 68 balls in her most recent appearance as part of Australia's 43-run victory over India, says, “It’s quite funny, I’ve spoken to a couple of the girls who were at the World Cup in New Zealand, and it feels like ages ago. I remember sitting on the couch watching, never thinking I’d be at the next one. I didn’t even realise it was every four years, that goes to show how much attention I was paying back then. But to be part of it now is really special."

She further adds, “Looking from the outside in, [the Australian squad is] an intimidating group because of how successful they've been for so long. Coming into it, you’re not really sure if you deserve to be there, to be honest. [But] the games [I’ve played have] gone quite well for me personally, probably better than expected. The goal was not to change anything. I was picked for a reason, to do a job, and filling Midge’s [Alyssa Healy] shoes was a huge task. But I just wanted to back myself and play the way I had been playing to get to that point. I was pretty lucky that it worked out and that I was able to contribute to the team.”
