Alyssa Healy to Miss Australia vs England ODI World Cup Match Due to Injury
AUS-W vs ENG-W, ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025: Australia, England, and South Africa have reached the semi-finals of the tournament, while India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan have a chance to secure the final berth.
Australia and England's 23rd ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 match will be scheduled to play in Indore on Wednesday at 3:00 PM IST. The Australian women's team has been dealt a big blow before this match. Australia's regular captain Alyssa Healy will miss the match against England on October 22nd due to a calf strain.
Australia's 35-year-old top-order batswoman Alyssa Healy sustained an injury during the practice session on Saturday. In the four games of the current ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025, she has made a total of 294 runs at an average of 98.00 and strike rate of 131.25 with two centuries. She is the leading run-scorer in the tournament. Consequently, her injury is a significant blow to the Australian women's cricket team.
In Alyssa Healy's absence, Tahlia McGrath will lead the Australian women's cricket team, while Beth Mooney will assume wicket-keeping duties. Cricket Australia has confirmed that Alyssa Healy's fitness will be re-evaluated before the team's final group match against South Africa on October 25.
