With the next women's T20 World Cup less than 100 days away, Australian all-rounder Jess Jonassen has everything crossed she will be there.where Australia beat England by eight wickets in the finalAfter suffering her fourth career knee injury in the preseason, she had done everything possible in rehab to make the plane trip.A long way from home and watching the team's success from the sidelines, Jonassen told Grandstand she was in a really dark place.
"It was one of my best preseasons I'd ever had, I was in the best shape I'd ever been in and I got injured in a way that was so innocuous that a lot of people didn't even know that I'd hurt myself at first." Ranked as the ICC's number one ODI bowler in the women's game and in the top-ten rankings for the T20I format, Jonassen instead took on a coaching role with young spinners Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham during the trip to stay involved with the team.
The Victorian pair were playing in their first World Cup and had pretty crucial roles with the ball — Molineux up front and Wareham through the middle — so Jonassen saw it as her way to contribute. But still, on a personal level, Jonassen struggled mentally and said she was lucky to have the emotional support of her partner Sarah and family back home during that difficult time.
women's sport brings in little money. a waste of time.
