Australia captain Alyssa Healy has been ruled out of the first T20 match at the Sydney Cricket Ground, and there is uncertainty over her playing in the remaining matches of the Ashes series. This injury has resurfaced after the injury he suffered during the T20 World Cup last year, when he suffered pain in his leg. Due to this injury, Healy has been ruled out of the team, and he is doubtful to play at this time. The Australian team will now be led by Tahlia McGrath, who will aim to win and retain the Ashes series 8-0 in Sydney. Apart from this, due to Healy being out, Grace Harris or Georgia Woll can be given place in the team, while Beth Mooney will handle the responsibility of wicketkeeping.
Team will be announced late
Due to Healy’s injury, Australia has also postponed the announcement of its squad for the day-night Test to be held at the MCG. This announcement was to be made during the first T20 match, but now it has been postponed. Cricket Australia said in a statement that Alyssa has developed pain in the middle part of her foot similar to the plantar fascia injury she sustained after the ODI series. She is currently wearing a boot and will not be available for this evening’s game. Cricket Australia’s medical team is consulting experts for Healy’s treatment and a plan is being made to manage his injury. His availability will be assessed in the coming days and his playing time for the remaining part of the series will be decided.
Got injured during T20 World Cup
Healy had to face knee problems after the injury sustained in the T20 World Cup, due to which she could not participate in the WBBL. After this, she played only in the ODI matches against New Zealand in December, while she also missed the Indian home series. He was wicket-keeping in three ODI matches against England. Apart from this, the T20 series matches to be held in Canberra on 23 January and Adelaide on 25 January have also been decided. Even if Healy is able to play in any of these matches, the question will remain whether he will be able to handle the Test match responsibilities, especially the wicket-keeping role.
