Australian Cricketer Alyssa Healy Undergoes Hand Surgery Following Dog Attack

Cricket Teammate Reveals 'Vicious Dog Attack' as Cause; Healy's Participation in Upcoming Matches Remains Uncertain

Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy has undergone hand surgery following a 'vicious dog attack' at her home, which resulted in her late withdrawal from a Women's Big Bash League game against Sydney Thunder.
The nature of the accident was initially not disclosed by the Sydney Sixers, with whom Healy plays, but teammate Phoebe Litchfield later clarified that the injury was due to a dog attack.
Healy, who has served as the acting captain of the Australian national women's team during Meg Lanning's absence, led her team to retain the Women's Ashes in England in July.
As a result of her injury, Healy's participation in the rest of the Women's Big Bash League season is uncertain, leaving the Sixers with 12 group games and any possible knockout stages to play without her.
The Sydney Sixers team has not yet replaced Healy on their roster and an update on her rehabilitation period is awaited.
