Australian captain Alyssa Healy is playing today’s match Women’s Ashes 2025 vs England. Healy, a goalkeeper and batsman for the Australian team, is missing from the playing eleven, and fans are speculating about the reason for her absence.
Why is Alyssa Healy not playing in the first T20I against England?
Healy was ruled out of the first T20I of the three-match series against England due to a foot injury, which has also put his availability for the rest of the Ashes series in doubt. With a packed schedule of three T20Is and a four-day Test over the next two weeks, time is running out for his recovery.
She experienced discomfort in the same foot she injured during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup last October, when she tore the plantar fascia. This followed a series of setbacks, including a knee injury that ruled her out of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) and the subsequent ODI series against India.
After returning as a specialist batsman in late December during the ODI series against New Zealand and resuming wicketkeeping duties in the ODI rubber against England, this latest injury is another setback for Mitchell Starc’s wife.
In Healy’s absence, Tahlia McGrath lead the Australian side.
