Matthew Short Blazes in MLC 2025, Wife Maddie Wilson Equally Unstoppable in Water

In the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States, Australian cricketer Matthew Short has emerged as one of the tournament’s most explosive performers. While Short is setting the field on fire with his aggressive batting, his wife, Olympic swimmer Maddie Wilson, is no less impressive in her own arena — the swimming pool. Truly a power couple, they dominate their respective sports with equal flair.

Maddie Wilson: A Star in the Pool

Maddie Wilson is a renowned Australian swimmer with a decorated international career:

• 4 Olympic medals, including 2 golds from the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics

• A key member of Australia’s medal-winning relay teams

Her achievements make her a sporting icon in her own right — proving that Matthew isn’t the only champion in the family.
