WPL 2025 : Gujarat Giants’ all-rounder Danielle Gibson has made a surprising revelation about her life before she became a full-time cricketer. The England-based cricketer worked at a local pub as a waitress to earn money.
Gibson earned a ₹30 lakh contract from the Gujarat Giants at the WPL 2025 Auction. The bowling all-rounder has represented England in 22 T20Is as well.
While Gibson is making a decent amount of money by playing cricket, it was not the case for her always. The Gujarat all-rounder shared details of her first non-cricket job in a video shared by the franchise on X and said:
“I worked as a waitress in England at a pub. I didn’t really enjoy it.”
