While Faltum is not expected to play since Beth Mooney will wear gloves, the selection is a clear eye for the future for life after Healy and, finally, Mooney.
The selectors admitted on Wednesday that it had been a tight race, with Wilson and Wicketkeeper of Western Australia Maddy Darke unfortunate to get lost.
Their recent 112 and 142 scores have helped take the final of Nueva Gales del Sur to Sunday against Queensland, where they will try to win their first title in six years.
Wilson said he had not heard from the chief selector Shawn Flegler about the decision, but that he remained positive about his long -term perspectives.
“I have not really heard anything around that, but I am sure that in the coming weeks, I will try to get in touch to see what is happening,” Wilson said. “Probably a few months ago, I was in contact with Shawn Flegler about what my role is and where he sees me in the future.
“It is definitely all positive. I definitely believe that the race was tight, and Nic definitely only gave me the head on me this time. Every time something like this comes out, you obviously want to be the one in that position, but at the same time I think Nic has also had a pretty good season.”
When asked about the missing selection on Wednesday, Flegler pointed out its T20 form at the WBBL, Wicktkeeping and Australia a production. Faltum has also obtained scores of 90, 82 and 52 in recent weeks for Victoria in the WNCL, and for a long time it has been identified as one of the next online players.
With Faltum and Wilson, both 25 years old and Darke 23, is the right time for the trio to press the statements given that Healy now is 34 years old and Mooney 31.
“I remember talking to Alyssa Healy, probably last year,” Wilson recalled. “She said: ‘You know what, you are really the main age because I am obviously a little older than you.’
“So I feel it is incredible that I am scoring now, and that is probably helping me to stay in his radar … one day, luckily, we will achieve it.”
