Renegades and South Australia wicketkeeper Josie Dooley spent a month in hospital in Hawaii before she was well enough to fly home to Australia after suffering a stroke while on holidays.

Melbourne Renegades and South Australia wicketkeeper Josie Dooley’s holiday to Hawaii took an awful turn when she suffered a stroke and required medical evacuation, spending 18 days in intensive care after surgery.

An avid surfer who once said she would have considered going professional if those skills had matched her cricket ability, Dooley suffered the stroke on the Hawaiian island of Kauai on April 15 and was flown to Honolulu for urgent treatment.After surgery, she spent 30 days in hospital on the island before her condition improved sufficiently for her to fly home to Brisbane, where she is continuing her recovery.

“Following surgery, Josie remained in the neurosciences ICU of the Queen’s Hospital in Honolulu for 18 days before progressing to a neurosurgical ward where she remained for a further 12 days,” the South Australian Cricket Association said in a statement.“Once she was fit to fly, Josie was medically evacuated to her home town of Brisbane where she was readmitted to hospital.
