‘Trying To Harness A Little Bit Of That’: Gardner Channels Fearless Spirit Ahead Of Landmark 100th T20I
T20 World Cup: Australia vice-captain Ashleigh Gardner is revisiting the fearless approach that defined her early career as the team prepares for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in England. The all-rounder is aiming to regain her top form ahead of a marquee tournament, while reaching a personal milestone of 100 T20 Internationals.
Gardner will become the seventh Australian woman to reach the century of T20Is when the team faces the West Indies in St Vincent. The milestone comes at a crucial juncture for Australia, who will be eager to reverse recent semi-final disappointments, a loss to hosts India in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 and a similar exit against South Africa in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup.
“I was someone that had no fear, and I guess as I've gotten older and more mature, I've gained more fear in the way that I approach life and just cricket in general,” Gardner told Cricket Australia.
