Healy was ruled out of Australia’s final group-stage game against India in Sharjah on Sunday and will continue to be assessed over the coming days. Tahlia McGrath was set to captain Australia against India in Healy’s absence, with Ellyse Perry acting as vice-captain.
She had come into the side for the big-hitting Grace Harris, adding pace in what Healy described as an “impact for impact” swap in Australia’s first match of the tournament at the ground, having opened their campaign with wins against Sri Lanka and New Zealand on a slower pitch in Sharjah.
It was Vlaeminck’s first World Cup match since 2018 and the second in a career punctuated by serious injuries – including two ACL injuries, a twice-dislocated left shoulder, and stress fractures to her foot.
Healy and Vlaeminck both underwent scans on their respective injuries on Saturday.
Graham, a right-arm seam bowler, has played five T20Is and one ODI with career-best figures of 4 for 8 in the shortest format during Australia’s tour of India in 2022.
While available for selection against India, Graham was not included in the playing XI.
