Healy, who played her final match in Australian colours, expressed confidence that the next generation of players would take the team forward, highlighting the leadership of Sophie Molineux.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m genuinely really excited to watch this group of amazing people moving forward, led by Sophie Molineux. I think they\u2019re going to achieve some great things,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Healy was also proud of the way the team bounced back after losing the T20I series earlier in the tour. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cReally pleased with that effort. Bouncing back from the T20 series, there was a bit of disappointment and uncertainty in the group, but the way the team responded in the last four fixtures has been unbelievable. I'm really proud, and it's been a great time being together,\u201d she said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The wicketkeeper-batter admitted that the moment of farewell hit her emotionally just before returning to the dressing room. Honestly, it hit me just before that I get to go into that change room again and be around the girls. I'm going to enjoy the next little bit and sing the team song one last time,\u201d Healy said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Healy praised the game's longer format for giving young players a chance to develop their skills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTest cricket gives these young players an opportunity to showcase their skills over a longer period of time. White-ball cricket doesn\u2019t always give you the chance to set up batters or build an innings. So long live Test cricket and hopefully we can see more of it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the support she received from fans at the venue and back home, Healy said she only realised the scale of the affection during the final week of her career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re representing your country, you\u2019re in a bubble and just trying to win games. You probably don\u2019t realise what\u2019s going on outside. To feel that love and support this week has been amazing, so thank you to everyone who came here and everyone watching from home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Thank you to you guys, and all the very best for the World Cup in the middle of the year. I know you'll give it a red-hot shake in the UK, so we'll wait. Hopefully, Australia and India in the final will be a nice touch, but thank you to you guys for your efforts,\" she concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
