Following an extensive recruitment process Cricket Wales
will shortly propose a new-look Board to its membership.
The new Board will have wide-ranging cricket experience from
all parts of Wales, together with outstanding leadership, management and
business skills, required to drive the sport forward.
The Board consists of six individuals from within the recreational
game, two from Glamorgan Cricket, three Independents and the CEO of Cricket
Wales. All candidates were interviewed by a Cricket Wales Nominations Panel.
Chair of the Panel and ECB Board Director Jim Wood stated:
‘The panel had some difficult decisions to make and
regrettably were not able to appoint all who volunteered. The quality of applicants far exceeded everyone’s
expectations and demonstrates the passion that exists from very talented people
to help lead cricket in Wales. The panel wishes to express their appreciation
to all who put themselves forward’
Sport Wales Senior Officer Susie Osborne added
‘By tackling a challenging governance issue cricket in Wales
is being rewarded by the announcement of a new Board that remains well
connected to all parts of the game, but also has on it strong leadership,
specific business skills and the diversity required to run a modern sporting
organisation’
The new Board requires membership approval and will assume
its responsibilities in the coming months. Its Chair will be elected at its
first meeting.
