Alyssa Healy Included As Batter Only In Australia's Ashes Test Squad
Melbourne Cricket Ground: Australia have named captain Alyssa Healy as a batter only in the day-night Ashes Test against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), starting January 30. The squad features the same 13 players that took part in the opening three ODIs, with Queenslander Georgia Voll a chance to make her Test debut. The match will be the first day-night Test at the MCG and the first women’s Test match at the venue since 1948-49.
Wicketkeeper-batter Healy missed the opening T20I of the series at Sydney Cricket Ground due stress reaction in the same foot that she injured at the T20 World Cup. Beth Mooney will take the gloves for the Test. In the case of Healy's absence, Tahila McGrath would again stand in as captain.
Cricket Australia’s Head of Performance (Women’s Cricket) and National Selector, Shawn Flegler said: “We’re pleased with the form of the 13 players that have taken part in the series to date and feel it’s a squad that offers a variety of options when it comes to selecting the makeup of the Test side.
