On the other hand, Perry has a left knee injury which kept her away from the field during the second ODI. In order to fully recover from her injury she will need to rest for at least four to six weeks.

CA also confirmed that neither player will require surgery but both will return to Australia for rehabilitation. Healy and Perry were set to play for Northern Superchargers and Birmingham Phoenix respectively.
