Healy confirmed in 15-player squad for T20 tournaments in Jan-Feb as Australia prepare to play Pakistan in Sydney, Hobart and Canberra this month
Australia play Pakistan in Sydney, Hobart and Canberra
Healy has not played since injuring her calf last month in India, and has already been ruled out of next week’s one-day series against Pakistan. But officials are now confident she will be fit to feature in three T20 matches against Pakistan from January 24, ahead of February’s World Cup in South Africa.Healy, 32, is vice-captain of the 15-player squad announced for both series, with Meg Lanning having previously confirmed she would return to the top job on her comeback from personal leave.
“Seeing Meg and Georgia back in action for Victoria has been exciting,” head selector Shawn Flegler said. “Both bring a wealth of experience to the group, which is always crucial during major tournaments. Wareham’s return means fellow spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington is omitted, while youngster Phoebe Litchfield is the batter to make way for Lanning.The biggest surprise omission is Nicola Carey. A mainstay of Australia’s squad since 2018, the Hobart Hurricanes allrounder played in the 2020 T20 World Cup final but has failed to lock down a consistent role since.
