"It's going all right, some days are better than others" says Jess Jonassen

Australia spinner Jess Jonassen, who had been ruled out for the knee injury during the New Zealand and Pakistan series; has returned to the squad before the last match against Pakistan and played there. Now the team is preparing for the upcoming World T20 in the West Indies.



Australia won the T20I series against WHITE FERNS by 3-0 and then won the series against Pakistan in Malaysia. "It's been great, I've really enjoyed it so far," Jonassen said after Australia's warm-up match against England in Antigua was washed out on Saturday.



"It was really tough for me during the New Zealand series to watch from home but the girls did a really good job and it's really nice to be back around them again."



"It's going all right, some days are better than others," she said. "There's still rehab ongoing throughout this campaign but I always said along the whole way that as long as the physios are happy, then I am doing a pretty good job. So for me, it's a matter of playing more games and getting out there and getting more confident in it," she added.



Sophie Molineux, Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham have performed really well in Jonassen's absence in the recently concluded series against both New Zealand and Pakistan. While talking about that, she told, "They were all fantastic. Sophie really stood up and took the role on."



"I jokingly sent her a message when we were away, she is making it hard for me to come back in. But I think that is a really healthy thing though, looking at where we are at with our side at the moment and the calibre of players that will potentially have to miss out, it shows how strong we are and the versatility in our team. It's a really exciting time to be part of this team."



"It's going to be very interesting," she told. "It's going to be pretty different but I'm sure the girls will be able to adapt and we'll enjoy our time there for sure."



Australia will start their campaign against Pakistan at Providence Stadium, Guyana on November 9.
