Healy opened up on playing her final ODI
Speaking before the game, Healy was asked about playing her final ODI. However, she decided to talk about Lucy Hamilton, who made her debut for the Women in Yellow.
“We've got a lovely debutant today, so let’s make it more about her and sort of a nice little peek into the future. Yeah, obviously, Lucy Hamilton is coming into the side and Georgia Wareham as well. But I’m really excited for Hamo. It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks for her, sort of coming in late but getting an opportunity. I’m really thrilled for her and looking forward to seeing what she can do later,” Healy said at the toss.
