Phoebe Litchfield is progressing well in her recovery from a quad injury and is expected to make a comeback for Australia in their final group game against India at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in London. The talented batter had been sidelined for three matches following her impressive 50-run innings against South Africa where she sustained the injury.
Australia’s head coach, Shelley Nitschke, expressed optimism about Litchfield’s availability for the crucial match, indicating a potential reshuffle in the batting order with Ellyse Perry likely to move down to No.4 if Litchfield returns to her No.3 position.
The final decision on Litchfield’s participation will be taken closer to the game day, with Australia scheduled to practice at Lord’s and Wormsley ahead of the match. There are speculations that Lucy Hamilton might make way for Litchfield’s return, while Grace Harris is also being considered for a comeback due to her experience at Lord’s.
