'Sorry for the pain': Gardner opens up on affair
- On Thursday, Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg confirmed that Ash Gardner will remain as vice-captain, with the board introducing new policies to manage potential conflicts of interest in team selection meetings involving her partner Georgia Voll.
- Gardner's relationship with Voll, which began last year, has attracted significant media attention in recent weeks. The board acknowledged they were aware of the situation before it became public.
- Greenberg stated that while Gardner is not a selector, she will be required to recuse herself from any leadership discussions involving Voll to remove "perceived or real" conflict regarding team selection.
- Monica Wright publicly questioned the lack of action by Cricket Australia, citing "a clear power imbalance" when a senior member of staff has an affair with a junior, and argued Gardner should not retain her position.
- Cricket Australia maintains that its existing respect-at-work policies are robust and will implement additional measures to ensure all leadership and selection decisions remain transparent and unaffected by personal relationships.
