Allan Border Field: Former Australia cricketer Mel Jones believes Georgia Voll can be the next big talent coming from the team in their upcoming ODI series against India, saying that the batting prodigy showed during this year’s WBBL that nothing scares her.

Georgia is poised to open the batting with Pheobe Litchfield in the ODI series opener against India at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Thursday, in place of injured captain Alyssa Healy. In this year’s WBBL, Georgia made 330 runs in 12 games at a strike-rate of 144.73 for the Sydney Thunder.

“Georgia Voll has shown in the WBBL that nothing sort of fazes her. To score 97 not out at the MCG in a run chase (is impressive). So yes, we are in a transition phase, but I think when you look at the depth of domestic cricketers, I think Shelley Nitschke and the team will be reasonably confident they can manage it,” said Mel on Fox Cricket’s Follow On podcast show.
