Video: Alyssa Healy Spotted On Crutches Ahead Of IND vs AUS Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Match

Australian captain Alyssa Healy was seen arriving on crutches ahead of the big clash against India in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 game in Sharjah. In a video shared by ICC on social media, the keeper-batter was seen getting out of the bus with the help of crutches before eventually being ruled out of the fixture.

The Queenslander sustained a foot injury during the nine-wicket win over Pakistan in Dubai. The incident occurred in the tenth over as Ellyse Perry and Healy pushed for a couple after the former pushed one to extra cover. However, the veteran was seen writhing in pain after making it to the non-striker's end successfully. Batting on 37, Healy hobbled off as Australia completed a convincing nine-wicket victory.

Here's the video of Healy arriving on crutches:
