The rest of the 15-player list is as expected. However, Grace Harris and Amanda-Jade Wellington are the only members of their triumphant World Cup squad to not earn a central contract.

Alana King came into the side during the Ashes and hasn't missed a beat. "She produced match-winning performances across all three formats and thoroughly deserves her spot on the list. After the loss of Georgia Wareham to injury. We were in a fortunate position to be able to replace her with another outstanding leg spinner in Alana".

"It's a real credit to Alana and the Australian Cricket system to have someone of her caliber waiting in the wings ready to go," Cricket Australia added.

Players can be upgraded to a central contract by being selected on the national side during the year. Meanwhile, Alana King was in 2021-22. Players are upgraded when they accrue 12 points. The women's players earn four points for a Test match and two points each for an ODI and T20.
