Women’s T20 WC: Gardner Says Mooney’s Injury Exit Was ‘just Precautionary’ After Australia’s Win Over NED
T20 World Cup: Australia all-rounder and vice-captain Ashleigh Gardner has played down concerns over the fitness of wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney while confirming her own ankle has recovered well after the defending champions' commanding victory over the Netherlands in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at The Rose Bowl.
Speaking after Australia's third successive Group A win, Gardner said Mooney's early exit from the innings was only a precaution as the team manages its players carefully with the knockout stage approaching.
Mooney retired hurt after scoring 74 off 42 deliveries because of a back complaint and did not take the field during the Netherlands' chase, with Georgia Voll taking over the wicketkeeping duties. Gardner, who herself returned after overcoming an ankle injury, indicated Australia were unwilling to take unnecessary risks given the length of the tournament.
