Australian women’s cricket team

In the first match, Ashley Gardner was able to bowl only 2.2 overs. Gardner sat in the first T20I match played in Auckland, bowling in the 17th over of New Zealand’s innings and injured herself in an attempt to catch a catch. After this he had to go out of the field.

Cricket Australia said in a statement on Saturday, March 22 that when returning to Sydney, the finger of Ashley Gardner would be scanned and the specialist would be consulted.
