Sydney, Nov 15: Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner on Sunday suffered a suspected concussion during Sydney Sixers’ 14-run defeat against Adelaide Strikers during the ongoing edition of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).
Gardner was ruled out mid-way during what was Sixers’ fourth consecutive loss in the tournament and was replaced by wicketkeeper Maddy Darke after diving in an attempt to stop a boundary during the Sixers’ fielding innings. Her head did not hit the ground, but the effects of the jarring contact meant she came off the field to be assessed in line with Cricket Australia’s concussion protocols. The on-duty doctor then ruled her out of the game. (IANS)
