It is vanishingly unlikely that they will cast a female. Despite the tweaks in personality that occur from actor to actor, the Doctor is, has always been, essentially an English gentleman. The show doesn't need stunt casting to make pointless statements about sexual equality. Time Ladies have featured in the show often enough, and the Time Lady companion of the late 70s and early 80s (Romana) was pointedly more capable and highly qualified than the Doctor.
