Australia all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner has been in the spotlight due to reports about her marriage issues, followed by social media posts from her estranged wife, Monica Wright. The breakdown of Gardner and Wright’s relationship allegedly involved another Australian cricketer, though the individual was not named in the reports. Wright expressed dissatisfaction with the vague report on Instagram and shared a photo of cricketer Georgia Voll, implying her involvement.
The troubles in Gardner and Wright’s relationship reportedly started during the Women’s ODI World Cup earlier this year, with Wright traveling to India during the tournament. Upon returning to Australia, Gardner informed Wright of changes in their relationship, leading to their separation. The couple, who had plans to start a family, parted ways, with Gardner moving out of their Sydney home and leaving their wedding rings behind.
According to the reports, the separation became a topic of discussion within the Australian dressing room, with some squad members maintaining contact with Wright. Despite the social media buzz surrounding Wright’s posts, neither Gardner nor Voll has responded publicly. Gardner, a key player for Australia, was recently named co-vice-captain of the team and had a successful season, contributing significantly to Australia’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup victory.
The situation has sparked conversations on social media, although there has been no official statement from the players or Cricket Australia, except for reports indicating a decision not to comment on the matter.
