The
wicketkeeper
batswoman
is
gearing
up
for
the
muti-format
series
against
India
comprising
three
ODIs,
a
day-night
Test
and
three
T20s,
starting
on
September
21.

Having
played
only
four
Test
matches,
Healy
says
she
will
approach
the
“tricky”
pink
ball
fixture,
which
will
be
played
from
September
30
to
October
3
in
Canberra,
like
an
ODI.

“It’s
a
tricky
one
because
I’ve
only
played
four
Tests
so
I
wouldn’t
say
I’m
overly
comfortable
with
how
to
play
or
how
to
approach
a
Test,”
Healy
was
quoted
as
saying
at
a
‘Fox
Cricket’ launch
event
for
the
series.

“From
my
point
of
view,
I
don’t
think
it’s
going
to
change
too
much
from
my
ODI
batting.
I
think
the
ability
to
give
yourself
more
time
is
such
a
blessing.

“I
look
at
the
modern
Test
game
and
see
how
it’s
changed
quite
a
lot.
I
look
at
someone
like
Rohit
Sharma
who
is
one
of
the
most
devastating
white-ball
batters
in
the
world
and
yet
he’s
a
really
successful
opener
in
Test
cricket.”

After
dominating
the
white
ball
game,
the
Indian
limited
overs
vice-captain
has
proved
his
mettle
in
the
red-ball
format
as
well.
Opening
the
batting,
Rohit
has
played
a
key
role
during
India’s
tour
of
Australia
and
England.

“So
for
me,
I
said
look
at
somebody
like
him
and
think
about
how
he
translates
those
skills
across
all
the
formats,
could
I
potentially
replicate
that
somehow?”
she
added.

The
two
sides
have
developed
a
fierce
rivalry
over
the
years.
India
had
knocked
Australia
out
in
the
the
semifinal
of
the
2017
World
Cup
thanks
to
Harmanpreet
Kaur’s
171
off
115.

At
the
women’s
T20
World
Cup
last
year,
India
had
drawn
first
blood
taking
the
opening
match
on
the
back
of
senior
spinner
Poonam
Yadav’s
brilliant
spell.

However,
Australia
had
made
a
strong
comeback
in
the
final,
handing
India
a
85-run
defeat.

Talking
about
the
series
ahead,
Healy
said
the
unpredictable
nature
of
the
Indian
team
makes
them
dangerous.

“Sometimes
a
bit
of
the
unknown
and
the
unpredictable
nature
of
India
makes
them
incredibly
dangerous.
They’ve
picked
a
few
new
players
that
we
haven’t
seen
before
on
this
tour,”
Healy
said.

“So
they
always
love
throwing
something
new
at
us,
even
if
it
is
Poonam
Yadav,
she
always
has
something
new
to
throw
at
us,
just
to
kick
us
off
track
again,”
she
added.
