Healy, who ruptured the plantar fascia in her right foot against Pakistan in Dubai, which forced her to miss the final group game and semi-final where Australia were eliminated, is available for Friday’s match against Melbourne Stars at North Sydney Oval where she will come up against Meg Lanning.

“It was a really hard decision to make last night as to whether or not we’re going to give it a punt or not,” she said. “I tried to make the ‘team decision’ and sat myself down, instead of taking the risk.”

“I ruptured my plantar fascia – completely ruptured one and partially ruptured the other. So it was just a matter of function and pain and what I could handle, and, ultimately, I probably only had one game in me, and probably took the wrong risk.”

After returning to Australia, Healy hinted that there may have to be some workload management during a season that includes the WBBL, ODI series against India and New Zealand then the Women’s Ashes in January.

“There’s a lot of cricket to be played this summer,” she told the Willow Talk podcast, “And with regards getting myself through that, it’s going to be about managing what I can and can’t do and that could be disappointing for me at times throughout the summer because I want to play every single game but there’s potential that might not take place so we’ll just have to see.”
