Alyssa Healy ’s return has boosted Australia both on and off the field ahead of their bid for a third consecutive T20 World Cup trophy, in what Tahlia McGrath has declared a “scary” proposition for rivals.

Healy injured her calf in december :-

Healy missed last month’s limited-overs series against Pakistan after injuring her calf during December’s tour of India.

She put the muscle to the test during Australia’s first two hit outs following their arrival in Cape Town on Wednesday, batting and keeping wicket across the training sessions at Stellenbosch University and Newlands Cricket Ground.

Healy declared herself fit for Saturday’s tournament opener :-

It is not yet confirmed whether she will take her place with the gloves or at the top of the order for Monday’s warm-up game against India at Newlands, but Healy declared herself fit for Saturday’s tournament opener against New Zealand while walking the Australian Cricket Awards blue carpet in Sydney last week.

The return of ‘big game player’ Healy, player of the match in the last two World Cup finals, to the top of the Australian order is a welcome sight for Aussie teammates, coaching staff and fans alike – and a daunting proposition for their rivals.
