Whether you’re a big fan of the sport or not, there’s a high chance you’ve heard of Indian-born Australian cricket superstar Lisa Sthalekar.
The former captain of the Australia women's national cricket team retired from international cricket in 2013. Since then, she's continued being a trailblazing force in advocating for women's equality and diversity in sport.
Alicia caught up with Lisa just before Christmas, and it’s now the perfect time to release this episode. At the end of 2025, India won their first ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, and now, they’re coming Down Under in February to play against the Aussie women’s team.
In this chat, Lisa talks about everything from her own career journey, to starting a cricket and travel business called Around The Wickets, how cricket culture is different in Australia and India, and of course, why it’s so important for the Indian community and wider South Asian diaspora to fill those stadiums in Australia when India arrives next month.
