Australian cricket great Alyssa Healy will be honoured in a special way during her final international outing, with the iconic hill at the WACA Ground in Perth set to be renamed ‘Healy Hill’ for the upcoming Women’s Test against India from March 6 to 9.
The tribute marks a fitting farewell to one of Australia’s most influential cricketers, who has represented her country in 295 international matches and played a pivotal role in seven World Cup triumphs, one in the ODI format and six in T20 cricket.
The ‘Healy Hill’, an initiative supported by Westpac, will be open to fans on all four days of the Test match. Cricket Australia and Westpac have encouraged supporters to fill the hill and celebrate Healy’s contribution to the game in a traditional and vibrant matchday atmosphere.
The Test holds additional historical significance as it will be the first day-night Test match hosted at the WACA Ground, and the first official fixture at the venue following its extensive redevelopment.
With less than one month remaining until the Perth Test, the highly anticipated multi-format series between Australia and India begins on February 15 in Sydney. The series will also feature One-Day Internationals (ODIs), before culminating in the Test match that will likely mark Healy’s final appearances in the Australian colours.
Cricket Australia Executive General Manager of Events and Operations, Joel Morrison, highlighted the importance of the occasion, describing the series as a clash between two global powerhouses.
He noted that the introduction of ‘Healy Hill’ would allow fans to experience the excitement of a day-night Test while honouring a player who has been central to Australia’s success across formats. Tickets for the Test are currently available via Ticketmaster. The redeveloped WACA Ground will open to the public from March 1, 2026, ahead of the historic Test match.
As Australia prepares to welcome India to Perth, the renaming of ‘Healy Hill’ stands as a lasting tribute to Alyssa Healy’s legacy and her impact on Australian and world cricket.
