Big Bash League: Sydney Sixers wicketkeeper and Australia vice-captain, Alyssa Healy has been ruled out of entire Women's Big Bash League season after suffering a finger injury.

Healy was bit on her right index finger by one of her puppies while trying to separate them at home, suffering a severe laceration which needed immediate surgery.

"This is not the news I was hoping for because I love playing in the WBBL and I love the Sydney Sixers. My focus now will be on making a full recovery and returning to play when the time is right. I'll continue to spend time with the Sixers squad and offer any help I can to help the team and the club thrive for the rest of the competition.
