Australia’s vice-captain Alyssa Healy will miss the entire Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) season after undergoing hand surgery following a dog attack involving her two Staffordshire bull terriers.
Healy suffered an artery injury in her right index finger during the incident.
Expressing her disappointment, Healy stated, “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.”
Despite her absence, Healy has pledged her support to the Sydney Sixers and will remain engaged with the team during the tournament.
“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,” she said. “I’ll enjoy being able to watch the WBBL from afar as the tournament continues to go from strength to strength.”
