It was Healy’s first proper hitout since she featured in the one-off Test against England at the MCG at the end of February, with the 35-year-old having battled a knee injury in recent times while trying to get fit for this year’s 50-over World Cup that commences on September 30 in India and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
Healy hit five boundaries during her brief stay at the crease against India A in Mackay and the right-hander was thrilled to make a successful return to action and contribute towards a victory for her side.<\/p>\n
“(I got) off to a good start … another disappointing dismissal, but that’s OK,” Healy told reporters after the game.<\/p>\n
“I’ve done a lot of hitting in the nets, and haven’t really had any time out in the middle for a long period of time, so it was nice to just get back out there, and hopefully the decision making will start kicking back in at some point.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was Healy’s first proper hitout since she featured in the one-off Test against England at the MCG…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[2325,7529,28994,1721,7530,28993,50,101,56,54,55,20143],"class_list":["post-52494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-2325","tag-app-stream","tag-australia-women","tag-cricket","tag-highlighted-news","tag-icc-womens-cricket-world-cup","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-womens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
