During an interview with 7Cricket, Healy highlighted Mitchell Starc’s role with the Australian women’s team and the sacrifices he has made to be with her.
Despite the challenges of bio-bubble confinements, Australian cricket’s star couple decided to be together during Healy’s international assignment against the visiting Indian women’s team.
Mitchell Starc was coming off a fortnight’s quarantine in Adelaide after returning from Australia’s white-ball tours of the West Indies and Bangladesh. He then entered another quarantine with wife Alyssa Healy for the series with India Women.
It has been a difficult year for Mitchell Starc, who lost his father in February this year. Moreover, the Australian men’s team haven’t done well across formats this year. Next month, the left-arm pacer will soon enter another bubble with the men’s team for the T20 World Cup.
Alyssa Healy stars for Australia Women against visiting India
Alyssa Healy’s run-a-ball 77 helped Australian women notch their 25th ODI win on the trot. The nine-wicket win at Mackay now sees them lead the series against the visiting Indians 1-0.
The 31-year-old became the fastest to reach 2,000 runs in terms of balls faced in women’s ODIs. She reached the milestone off 1954 balls. England’s Nat Sciver (2,061) and Australia’s Meg Lanning (2,069) were the previous quickest to the mark.
One of the most destructive batters in women’s cricket, Alyssa Healy has 2,004 runs from 80 ODIs at an average of 34.55 and a strike rate of 102.5.
