With Megan Schutt and Kim Garth being the preferred fast bowlers for Australia in their 3-0 win over India at home, Darcie was relegated to the sidelines. The tearaway pacer was also forced to miss WBBL after six games due to a hip injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I\u2019ve done a bit of work to do behind the scenes \u2026 I've been to plenty of trainings, which being injured recently I hadn\u2019t been able to do, so to have had a little bit of time now to work on that craft has been really nice, and to work with the coaches has been really good, and will hopefully set me up.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's quite windy, so I'll have to have to adapt to the conditions pretty quick \u2026 but it should be good fun to be out there. Mostly (I\u2019ve been trying to find) rhythm and trying to get my outswing back and that sort of stuff,\" Darcie was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Darcie had success at Wellington\u2019s Basin Reserve during Australia\u2019s triumphant 2022 ODI World Cup campaign, where she picked 3-22 against New Zealand. \"It'll be a great opportunity to hopefully be out there and play again. The Kiwis have got some quality batters so they can take you on pretty quick and take you down,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
