Alex Hartley: Sophie Ecclestone 'denied television interview' after womens Ashes 2025


Alex Hartley, Britain's previous World Cup-winning spinner, has guaranteed that Sophie Ecclestone "rejected" to be evaluated by her on television and that she has been "treated with complete disdain" by Britain players since censuring their wellness following their T20 World Cup exit in October. Hartley, who has worked widely as a telecaster and savant since resigning from proficient cricket, had said that a small bunch of players were "letting the group down" with their wellness levels after their shock rout to West Indies in Dubai. Heather Knight and Jon Lewis, Britain's commander and mentor, both rejected that it had added to their gathering stage end. Following Britain's 57-run misfortune in Monday's most memorable T20I in Sydney, which set Australia 8-0 up in the Remains and guaranteed they will hold the prize, Hartley said she had been frozen out. "Sophie Ecclestone would not do a television interview with me today," she told the BBC's TMS digital recording. "I've been hung on a mission to dry by the Britain group: not a solitary one of them will converse with me on the limit edge. "The explanation I said that they were not however fit as Australia seems to be on the grounds that I believe that they should rival Australia, I believe they should be preferable over Australia, and I believe they should win Remains and World Cups. I'm offering my viewpoint, and I've been treated with utter disdain from the Britain group from that point onward. "Not every one of them have treated me with complete disdain. I would rather not say that they've all been something similar, in light of the fact that they haven't. A portion of the players have been totally extraordinary: I've addressed them in the road, at the ground, any place. Be that as it may, a couple of people - mentors, players - they in a real sense haven't checked me out." England handling has been an issue all through the Remains. Beth Mooney was dropped from the get-go in her game dominating 75 in Sydney on Monday, while a progression of blunders added to Britain's three ODI routs toward the beginning of the visit. It provoked Hartley to repeat her view that Britain have battled to match Australia's "physicality" across the series. "I've disturbed them, obviously," she said. "Jon Lewis has emerged and said there isn't an issue with wellness in that frame of mind, there isn't an issue with wellness in the Britain climate. They clearly believe I'm totally off-base as I would like to think - which is fine, totally fine. I'm qualified for my perspectives, and they're qualified for theirs. "I must say assuming I see something that should be better, and I did, however how I've been treated since I believe is absolutely uncalled for. However, they will say that my remarks were out of line, so on the off chance that that is the manner in which our relationship will be moving advances, so be it… In the event that wellness isn't an issue, then it's physicality from a couple, right?"
