Gardner Retained As Vice-Captain, Excluded From Partner Voll Selection
Ashleigh Gardner is an important player on a cricket team.
She plays the role of vice-captain, which is like a helper to the captain.
The team leaders decided she can keep that job.
But there is a rule change.
Her partner, Georgia Voll, is also a cricket player.
Gardner will not be allowed to help choose whether Georgia plays in the team.
That way, people cannot worry that Gardner is picking her partner because of love.
The team has a policy called 'Respect at Work' that helps keep things fair.
They added new rules to this policy to make sure choices are fair.
So Gardner stays vice-captain, but she must stay out of decisions about her partner.
Ashleigh Gardner has been retained as the team's vice-captain.
Gardner will have no say in the selection of her partner, Georgia Voll.
Additional measures have been added to the Respect at Work policy.
Officials want guard rails against perceived or real selection conflicts involving leadership roles.
Outside the selection process, officials deem the matter a personal matter.

Mark Greenberg
Chief Executive of the cricket club
