(UTV|COLOMBO) – Cricket Australia Chief Executive James Sutherland has announced that he will step down, the BBC reported.
Mr. Sutherland said the “time is right” for him to depart his position, which he has held for 17 years.
He denied that his resignation had been hastened by a ball-tampering scandal that has rocked Australia and prompted the suspensions of three players, including former captain Steve Smith.
Mr Sutherland will stay on for up to 12 months until his replacement is found.
