Australia’s captain has missed a bit of cricet recently with injury.
She missed most of the WBBL and did not participate in the ODI series against India.
Tahlia McGrath stood in as captain, but there was belief Healy would suit up in the Rose Bowl.
If she does, she will not be taking the gloves as wicketkeeper.
“I won’t be wicketkeeping this series … but there’s not a lot of cricket leading into the Ashes, so for me, it’s an opportunity to try and get back on the park, as a batter, and try and find some runs more importantly,” Healy told reporters on Wednesday.
“I feel like I’ve hardly played any cricket for the last eight or nine months and there’s a good opportunity to do that.
“The knee’s tracking well, it’s just a day-by-day thing, and we’ll just assess as we go.”
