ODI World Cup: Australia skipper Alyssa Healy said the side is well-prepared and is in a great spot for their ODI World Cup title defence when the marquee event starts on September 30. Australia have won the global competition seven times and will begin their campaign against trans-tasman neighbours New Zealand in Indore on October 1.

“I think we’re in a great spot as a team; we’ve had some valuable time together as a group across multiple camps over the winter and I think everyone has enjoyed the chance to tailor their preparation through the Australia A series and domestic cricket in England.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be over here in India finalising our preparations for the World Cup. It’s a great place to play and somewhere we’re all reasonably familiar with. We know we’ve put in the time both on and off the field, so we come in confident with that body of work behind us and are ready to play some ODI Cricket," wrote Alyssa in her column for the ICC on Monday.
