There can be no denying the inaugural WPL Auction has changed the women's cricket landscape forever, as well as the life of Australian allrounder Ashleigh Gardner who was picked up by the Gujarat Giants for the dizzying sum of $558,000. Ash joins Laura and Em on the Scoop Podcast to candidly reflect on the host of conflicting emotions she experienced in the aftermath of the 'bizarre' auction, while also trying to maintain focus on Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign.  Ash speaks openly on the journey she's been on to strike a balance between life in the Australian women's team, as well as life away from cricket and how crucial having different things going on in her life has been to her growth as a player in the last twelve months. Laura, who is on deck in South Africa covering the team, also sheds light on the selection conundrum that Australia will face after Georgia Wareham came in for Jess Jonassen against Bangladesh to take 3-20.
