Healy has hand operation after accident at home

Sydney Sixers are waiting to find out how long Alyssa Healy could be sidelined for after the wicketkeeper-batter had an operation on her hand.

She later posted a picture on social media of her left hand in a bandage.

"Appreciate all the love. Am at home watching the girls get it done," wrote the Australia international.

Sixers captain Ellyse Perry, speaking before the game against the Thunder, said Healy injured her hand in a "pretty nasty accident".

"No further details of the accident or injury are clear at this time, with further details to be communicated in due course," said a Sixers statement.

"She has not been replaced on the Sixers' roster."

Following the game against Thunder, the Sixers have 12 group games left and any possible games in the knockout stages.
