Australia's swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy has been ruled out of the T20I series against Pakistan as she is still recovering from a calf injury sustained during Australia's T20I tour of India in December 2022.
A statement from Cricket Australia said Alyssa is expected to be available for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup, to be held from February 10-26 in South Africa, while adding that she will remain with the Australia squad for the series against Pakistan for rehabilitation.
Alyssa had captained Australia on their five-match T20I tour of India in Meg Lanning's absence in December 2022. She had to sit out of the fifth T20I at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai after suffering a calf strain while batting in the fourth match of the series, where Australia successfully defended 188.
