Former wife of Ash Gardner Monica Wright has slammed the Australian cricket board, Cricket Australia, for their inaction over the cricketer’s alleged affair with teammate Georgia Voll. Notably, last month, Wright accused the player of cheating on her with Voll after a news portal reported that their marriage has broken due to infidelity with an unknown cricketer. Monica took to Instagram Stories and shared the screenshot of the article while writing that it was too vague. Not only this, but she proceeded to post a picture of Voll, stating that she was the player the Aussie Vice Captain had cheated on her with.
Moreover, she has demanded that her ex-wife should be stripped off the role, while slamming the board for maintaining silence on the matter. While speaking to Code Sports, she said, “I think if you’re privileged enough to represent your country and be seen as a role model, there’s a responsibility to hold yourself to a high moral standard. What I can’t understand is why Cricket Australia hasn’t said anything publicly.”
She went on to say, “Does their silence mean they support the actions of Ashleigh and Georgia? You can’t have an affair with a junior member of staff, especially when there’s a clear power imbalance, and then remain in a position of leadership. Captains are expected to set the standard, and that kind of conduct falls well short of it,” Wright added.
Cricket Australia Responds to Monica Wright’s Demand of Sacking Ash Gardner
The cricketing board responded to Wright’s demands and said that the board considered the matter to be “private and personal.” Its statement read, “Cricket Australia ensures all relationships within our workforce comply with our Respect at Work policy. This includes putting appropriate conflict-of-interest management arrangements in place to support leadership responsibilities and maintain the integrity of team processes.”
Notably, Gardner tied the knot with Wright in April 2025, but things started going downhill between the two when the cricketer toured India during the 2025 ODI World Cup. A report by Daily Mail suggests that when her wife travelled to India to meet her, there was a bit of awkwardness, and they separated since then, while beginning the divorce proceedings.
