Ash Gardner succeeds Ellyse Perry as new captain of Sydney Sixers; Molineux to miss start of WBBL 2025

Sydney Sixers confirmed the leadership change at the club ahead of the 11th edition of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), with Ash Gardner being named the new captain. Gardner will take over the reins from Ellyse Perry, the veteran all-rounder, who has been the captain of the Sixers for 10 seasons, but the writing was on the wall after the team qualified for the finals just once in the last six editions. Gardner now is captain of her respective franchise in the WPL (Gujarat Giants), The Hundred (Trent Rockets) and now in the WBBL as well.
