Having seen India rise closely over the years, Lanning spoke in deep admiration of the contributions made by Deepti Sharma, Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues.
But Lanning thinks Litchfield can trump them all and become the new captain when Healy decides her time is up.
Praising the 27-year-old, Lanning highlighted Deepti’s composure and versatility across situations.
“So if they're able to set up their tournament really nicely by putting in a solid performance up front, then it makes it easier towards the back end.”
“I know Australia has dominated a lot of it, but it's certainly not a foregone conclusion,” Lanning told ICC Digital.
Australia captain Meg Lanning will head the Delhi Capitals in the first Women's Premier League (WPL), which begins on March 4 in Mumbai.
Delhi Capitals didn't sign a single player despite being in contention in the first two marquee sets of the Women's Premier League (WPL) player auction in Mumbai on Monday.
Currently, Australia leads the multi-format series 6-4 and India would be required to win all the three T20Is in order to register a victory in the series.
Lanning cited the opportunity to play alongside a young exciting group factored heavily in her decision to re-join the Stars.
