Retiring captain Alyssa Healy is looking forward to a well-earned rest on the couch next week but there are two big things she wants to tick off first - beating India and riding on the WACA Ground's new waterslide.

Australia's four-day pink-ball Test against India, starting in Perth on Friday, will mark the end of Healy's glorious international career.

The 35-year-old bowed out of the ODI arena with a bang on Sunday when she whacked 158 off 98 balls to give Australia an 8-4 lead in the multi-format series.

India can still draw the series with a win in the Test match, and Healy is desperate to ensure that doesn't happen.

Such is the fanfare surrounding Healy's retirement, the grassy hill at the WACA has been temporarily renamed "Healy Hill", while fans will also be handed out cardboard cutouts of Healy's face on day two.

Healy's retirement match also marks the first contest since the official unveiling of the revamped WACA following a $189m 'Improvement Project'.

Part of that project included the construction of an aquatic centre featuring a giant red cricket ball-shaped water slide dubbed 'The Spinner'.

It's definitely caught the attention of Healy and her teammates, especially with forecast temperatures of 36C and 38C for the first two days of the day-night Test.

"The water slide is a big talking point around our group, and whether or not we get to go down it at some point," Healy said on Thursday.

"I've been assured that we can, it's just a matter of when."

Healy insists she hasn't felt a sense of sadness about her career ending.

"Everyone keeps asking me how I'm going, and I'm like, 'I'm OK, I'm all good'," Healy said.

"I'm really just enjoying it. For me, it's less about me, it's more about the result.

"And if we can get a result to go our way, then it'll make it extra special."

Healy said she was also acutely aware that not everyone gets to retire on their own terms.

"This is just a really cool opportunity to finish here at home and in a baggy green," said Healy, who has played just 10 Tests during her 16-year career.

"Whatever happens will happen, and I look forward to resting up on the couch next week."

Healy's highest Test score of 99 came in her most recent Test appearance at the WACA - a win against South Africa in 2024.

So can she finally crack the ton in a Test?

"I mean, I'm not going out there to make it duck," she said with a laugh.

"So if three figures come up, then so be it.

"But at the end of the day, I just want to contribute to team success."

Australia will be without Sophie Molineux (back) and Kim Garth (quad) for the Test, while star allrounder Ellyse Perry (quad) is also in doubt.

If Perry does get up for the match after missing the entire ODI series, she'll play as a batter only.

Pace bowler Maitlan Brown has been rushed into the squad in place of Garth and could make her international debut.

The 28-year-old is battling the likes of Darcie Brown and 19-year-old left-armer Lucy Hamilton for spots in the XI.
