Aussie women's cricket star addresses cheating with her teammate scandal that ended marriage

Last month, Australia vice-captain Ash Gardner found herself at the center of a cheating scandal where she had been accused of cheating on her wife with a teammate.

The Aussie cricket star's now ex-wife Monica Wright, who was friends with several of the other players, named the teammate involved in the affair and the matter was looked into by Cricket Australia .

Gardner is a vice-captain and the teammate in question, Georgia Voll, is not, which raises questions about a possible conflict of interest given the power imbalance.
