"I didn't really enjoy it"- Gujarat Giants' WPL 2025 player discloses she worked as a waitress at a pub

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."

During the same video, Gibson mentioned that the first time she went to a cricket match live was at Lord's in 2007 when she was six years old. She also disclosed that she went to watch her brothers play in the final of a tournament.
