Ashleigh Gardner has been appointed captain of the Sydney Sixers, marking a new era for the club after a period of limited success in recent WBBL seasons.
Gardner takes over from long-time skipper Ellyse Perry, who led the side to just one finals appearance in the past six campaigns despite their star-studded lineup.
The Sixers are looking to rebuild and bring renewed energy under Gardner’s leadership, banking on her aggressive style and international experience to reignite their title hopes.
Perry, meanwhile, will continue to play a key role as a senior member of the team, supporting the transition as the Sixers chase a return to championship contention.
