Ashleigh Gardner has not only faced cheating allegations from her ex-wife Monica Wright, but Wright has also appealed to Cricket Australia to remove the all-rounder from the vice-captaincy role.
It seems the news has already taken the cricketing world by storm.
Cricket Fans React After Monica Wright’s Claims Against Ashleigh Gardner
The Australian vice-captain’s reported relationship with her teammate Georgia Voll came into the spotlight after her ex-wife, Wright, made the allegations and called on Cricket Australia to take action.
Soon after, some fans appeared to support the Australian star, while others sided with her ex-wife.
One fan wrote sarcastically of the Kangaroo cricketer, “My goat is back”; another joined, saying, “Time to kick in again.”
One of the fans wrote, “She is correct, men have lost positions for doing something similar. Cricket AUS and 6ers are sending a poor message that you can keep a poition of influence even if you have questionable values and bring the game into disrepute. I cancelled my 6ers membership because of this.”

One X user mocked the situation as they said, “😂😂😂 2 consenting adults have a fling in workplace…whatever, happens all the time. Would you really expect your employer to wade in if you rooted a colleague?😂😂😂”
“How is her personal issue related to her position in her team. She needs to sort her stuff out privately with Ash,” a fan pointed out as they took Gardner’s side.

Another fan issued advice for Wright, “Dear Monica please move on.”
While some fans support the Australian cricketer, others stand with Monica Wright. However, Cricket Australia follows its own policies and does not make decisions based on public demands or individual allegations alone.
According to the board’s stance, this matter is considered a private issue, and Cricket Australia does not believe it is appropriate to take action or comment on it.
