London [UK], June 25 (ANI): Australia head coach Shelley Nitschke hinted that star batter Phoebe Litchfield could make her comeback from injury in Australia’s final group-stage fixture against India at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in London on Jattvibeday.Litchfield sustained a calf injury while playing a match-winning knock against the South Africa team in Manchester earlier in the tournament. Since then, she has missed Australia’s last three matches, watching from the sidelines as the defending champions continued their unbeaten run in the competition.”I think Pheebs (Litchfield) is tracking really well and hopefully will be available for the India game,” Nitschke told cricket.com.au on Wednesday, as quoted by ICC.”And then, that’s going to be really tough call – Pheebs is likely to come back into that No.3 position, so then we’ve got some decisions to make on what the set-up looks like and how to structure up. But obviously someone has come out for her,” the Australia head coach added.Young pacer Lucy Hamilton could be the player that misses out for Litchfield’s impending return, while Nitschke also confirmed all-rounder Grace Harris could be in line for a recall given her experience at Lord’s.”She (Harris) has played at Lord’s quite a bit with the London Spirit, so she certainly throws her hat into the ring as well,” Nitschke said. “She’s been really unlucky so we’ve certainly got some options.”A win against the Women in Blue will ensure Australia finish on top of their group and enters the semi-finals unbeaten, while a loss may also prove enough for the side to reach the knockout stages.Meanwhile, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will take on the Bangladesh Women in a crucial Group A contest in the ongoing marquee tournament. The much-awaited contest will be held at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday. (ANI)(This content is sourced from a syndicated feed and is published as received.
