(UTV|COLOMBO) – Cricket Australia has confirmed Kevin Roberts as its incoming Chief Executive Officer (CEO) after James Sutherland’s resignation in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal.
Chairman David Peever made the announcement this morning and described Roberts as the “Best candidate for our organisation.”
Roberts, who led the protracted pay dispute negotiations with Australian Cricketers last year, was always the frontrunner for the post.
Roberts’ appointment is effective from the Cricket Australia Annual General Meeting (AGM), when Sutherland will step down.
