"Meg Lanning will return from a five-month hiatus to lead Australia in a one-day international series against Pakistan in January, while Alyssa Healy will miss the series as she continues her recovery from a calf injury.
Australia have named a 13-player squad to meet Pakistan in three ODIs at Allan Border Field on January 16 and 18 and North Sydney Oval on January 21, with Lanning confirming she will continue as skipper to lead the side in their first 50-over outing since the World Cup final in Christchurch in April.
Australia ODI squad: Meg Lanning (c), Tahlia McGrath (vc), Darcie Brown, Nicola Carey, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland"

"Australia will field a new-look opening pair in the absence of Healy and following the retirement of Rachael Haynes.
Mooney, who opens alongside Healy in T20Is, is a logical choice to be promoted from No.5, while options to join her include Litchfield and McGrath.
Overall, there are four changes to the 15-player squad that took out the World Cup in New Zealand in April, with Rachael Haynes (retired), Healy (injury), Amanda-Jade Wellington and Grace Harris making way for potential debutants Litchfield and Garth.
The 12-player Governor-General’s XI meet Pakistan in a 50-over match at Allan Border Field on February 13.
Governor-General’s XI squad: Able Seaman Charlee Masters (Australian Defence Force), Lauren Cheatle, Tess Flintoff, Ashleigh Gardner, Heather Graham, Charli Knott, Phoebe Litchfield, Courtney Sippel, Rachel Trenaman, Georgia Voll, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Tahlia Wilson"

It's a game. Enjoy it.

Looks like "barista" is over-selling it.
Maybe more like cafe waitress. Lanning: "making coffee and washing dishes".
“It just gave me a bit of a different perspective on things. Going in not really knowing what the day is going to look like. It could be busy, it could be quiet, and just having different conversations with the customers and things like that, I actually found that really cool.
“Just having that little bit of freedom, a little less structure around what I was doing and going with the flow a little bit more. Working at that cafe just allowed me to do that, and I had a lot of fun while I was there.”
