Sydney sixers general manager rachael

Sydney Sixers General Manager Rachael: Australia all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner will lead Sydney Sixers in the upcoming Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season. She succeeds Sixers legend Ellyse Perry, one of the women’s game’s greatest ever players, who has captained the club since its inception in 2015.

Gardner holds the club record for appearances (135) and wickets (102), while also sitting third all-time for runs scored (2607). Her decade in magenta has netted two League titles in WBBL season 2 and 3, alongside the season 8 Player of the Tournament and season 2 Young Gun awards.

"I’m honoured to be appointed captain of the Sydney Sixers, a club I’ve proudly represented for my whole career. Over the past decade I’ve learned from some amazing leaders, including Pez (Ellyse Perry) and Midge (Alyssa Healy) at the Sixers, and I can’t wait to lead the team in WBBL 11," Gardner said.
