‘There Was Disappointment’: Ashleigh Gardner Opens Up On Missing Australia Captaincy

By IANS News February 13, 2026 • 10:58 AM View: 575

T20 World Cups: Ashleigh Gardner showed her disappointment after missing out on the Australia captaincy saying she cares deeply about the team but insisted her desire to lead is still strong.

The all-rounder was seen as the favorite to take over from Alyssa Healy after her retirement last month. Instead, Cricket Australia chose Sophie Molineux in a surprise move. Gardner was named joint vice-captain with Tahlia McGrath, who has led the team 15 times before.
