‘I assume I’ll be out there…..’ – Australia star batter Alyssa Healy confident of comeback ahead of one-off Test vs India

Australia’s star cricketer Alyssa Healy is all set to mark her comeback in Test cricket against India after the injuries she sustained during the WBBL. Notably, the star cricketer has joined her training camp and will be looking to play a red-ball format series against hosts India, slated to commence on December 21 at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai.

The 33-year-old cricketer is quite confident ahead of the India series and says that the home team needs to work hard to get her out quickly in the series. In addition, the wicketkeeper batter reveals that she has started practising in the nets and is all set to fly to India for the big series.

“I assume I’ll be out there [for the Test], they’re going to have to do a lot to stop me walking out there and catching the first delivery. Everything’s going really, really well. I started back in the nets the last week-and-a-half so I’m all on track to fly to India on Wednesday for a big series over there,” Alyssa Healy at the Kayo Summer of Cricket launch on Friday.

To go over to India and captain a multi-format series would be really exciting: Alyssa Healy

Healy is quite excited for the India series after her finger injuries during the Big Bash League. Moreover, the stylish right-handed batter is all set to take on the captaincy role after regular skipper Meg Lanning announced her retirement from international cricket. The middle-order batter is ecstatic to lead her side against Harmanpreet Kaur-led Team India.

“Obviously we leave on Wednesday so having some sort of clarity and assurance for the team before we fly out would be great. If it was me, it’d be unbelievably exciting.  I feel like I’ve been warming the seat for 18 months for Meg to come back and obviously, with Meg’s news it was a bit of a shock. To go over to India and captain a multi-format series would be really exciting for whoever does get the job. If it’s me, then you beauty!,” she added further.
