Healy suffered a calf strain during practice last Saturday. The team management has confirmed that she will not play against England and her fitness will be continuously monitored. It is expected that she will be fully fit before the final league match against South Africa on October 25.

Tahlia McGrath will captain, Beth Mooney will handle wicketkeeping

In Healy’s absence, Tahlia McGrath will captain the team, while Beth Mooney will take over the responsibility of wicketkeeping. At the same time, 22 year old young opener Georgia Voll is likely to get a chance in the top order.

Healy’s excellent form continues

Alyssa Healy has been in excellent form throughout the tournament. So far he has scored 294 runs in four matches, which includes two consecutive centuries. Although Australia has already qualified for the semi-finals, the team would like Healy to be fully fit and return to the knockout matches as soon as possible.
