Australia's best T20 batter, Beth Mooney, has broken her jaw on the eve of the Ashes, while selectors are considering leaving Ellyse Perry out of the T20 series.
Australia could start the Women's Ashes without an injured Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry as selectors consider leaving the game's biggest name out of the Twenty20 team.The world's top-ranked T20 batter will now miss at least the T20 component of the Ashes
The squad for Thursday's opening match of the multi-format series remains uncertain after Mooney was hit in the chin facing throwdowns from coach Matt Mott on Monday. Her return date is yet to be finalised, but she will now miss at least the T20 component of the Ashes, and most likely the one-off Test and three ODI matches as well.Mooney, the WBBL's leading run-scorer, is also in doubt for the one-day World Cup in New Zealand in March, as officials wait on indications of her recovery time.
Mooney's unavailability will force a rethink of Australia's batting line-up for Thursday's T20 opener in Adelaide.
