Skipper Deepti Sharma admitted that the UP Warriorz will miss Alyssa Healy, but also sounded confident of her team making strong comeback after failing to qualify for the final in the first two seasons.

Healy is currently recovering from a stress reaction in her right foot, due to ruptures to her plantar fascia during the T20 World Cup in October. This injury made her miss the T20I leg of the series against England, where she played only as a batter and handed over wicketkeeping duties to Beth Mooney.
