ICC Cricket World Cup: Australia’s left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux said she is confident in her different way of preparing and making a direct return to international action in the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup.

On Friday, Sophie was named in Australia’s 15-player squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. But she’s unlikely to feature in the preceding three-match ODI series against India, starting from September 14. The left-arm spinner has been in recovery from the knee surgery she underwent in January.

"It's probably a little bit complicated, the knee at the moment, just coming off the back of an ACL and then having to have another surgery on top of that. We were aiming to play some games before that World Cup, but the way it's panned out is I'll probably get into it at the World Cup .... no (better) way to rip a Band-Aid off than that.
