The 19-year-old prodigy shares everything about her crazy first month in the Aussie team
Scoop Podcast: Living the dream with Phoebe Litchfield
19-year-old Phoebe Litchfield has had the week of her dreams, scoring back-to-back half centuries in her first two ODIs in Australian colours.
Australia's newest superstar joined Laura Jolly and Emily Collin on the Scoop Podcast to reflect on a wild month that has seen her travel to India for the first time, debut for Australia in two formats and twice hit the winning runs for her country.
She spoke about what it meant to have her family in the stands, some of the random messages she's received from long lost acquaintances and how she's slotted in to the Australian team with players that she grew up idolising.
Laura and Emily also discuss the Aussies' dominant start to the Pakistan series, the groundbreaking WIPL broadcast deal, and some incredible WNCL performances.
