Healy ruled out of WBBL due to finger injury

SYDNEY: Sydney Sixers wicketkeeper and Australia vice-captain, Alyssa Healy has been ruled out of entire Women’s Big Bash League season after suffering a finger injury.

Healy was bit on her right index finger by one of her puppies while trying to separate them at home, suffering a severe laceration which needed immediate surgery.

“This is not the news I was hoping for because I love playing in the WBBL and I love the Sydney Sixers. My focus now will be on making a full recovery and returning to play when the time is right. I’ll continue to spend time with the Sixers squad and offer any help I can to help the team and the club thrive for the rest of the competition.

“I’ll enjoy being able to watch the WBBL from afar as the tournament continues to go from strength to strength,” said Healy. IANS
