澳大利亚板球管理部门已确认Ash Gardner保留女子板球队副队长职位，但规定她在讨论伴侣Georgia Voll的选拔事宜时必须回避领导层会议[1]。该决定是为了以透明方式处理两人关系可能产生的利益冲突，保护球队和个人利益[1]。澳大利亚板球管理部门首席执行官Todd Greenberg表示："我们处于一些困难的领域"[1]。
Gardner与Voll的关系始于去年印度一日国际赛世界杯，随后导致Gardner婚姻破裂[1]。澳大利亚女子队最近在英国20/20世杯中获胜[1]。Gardner目前是副队长Sophie Molineux的副手[1]。
Cricket Australia has confirmed that Ash Gardner will retain her position as vice-captain of the Australian women's cricket team, but must recuse herself from leadership discussions regarding the selection of her partner Georgia Voll [1]. The governing body implemented this measure to transparently address potential and actual conflicts of interest arising from their relationship, thereby protecting both the team's and individuals' interests [1].
Cricket Australia Chief Executive Todd Greenberg characterized the situation by stating, "We're in some difficult territory" [1]. Gardner has been required to leave leadership meetings when Voll's selection is under discussion [1]. The relationship between Gardner and Voll began during the previous year's ODI World Cup in India, an involvement that led to the breakdown of Gardner's marriage [1]. Gardner serves as deputy to vice-captain Sophie Molineux [1]. The Australian women's team recently won the T20 World Cup in England [1].
