\u201cThere's a little bit of pressure (on us), but also we've played a few games (without Healy) and I think she must have been injured in a couple of those Ashes games as well, and potentially the New Zealand series, where we've played most of our T20 cricket in the past since the World Cup,\u201d Litchfield told ICC Digital.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe will miss her, but I think we've had a few practices now without the fireworks (from Healy) up at the top of the order so we're getting used to it. It is a bit weird not seeing her behind the stumps and slashing balls over cover, but our team has adapted well. And the beauty of our side is we've got a really, really deep order and people can fill that gap. But it is tough, and especially for fans of Australian cricket, to see her go,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Litchfield is also determined to ensure seven-time champions Australia avoid a repeat of their early exit in 2024, when the Proteas halted their title ambitions in the semifinals. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAnd I think the way that the T20 format is going these days, yeah, it's exciting. You just got to take the ball, take the game by the scruff of the neck and run with it. Every major tournament's a real priority for our group and there's a lot of excitement with a world fixture and I am really pumped,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
