Mike Baird Resigns as Cricket Australia Chair, David Boon to Take over Interim Role
David Boon will serve as interim chair while Cricket Australia searches for a longer-term leader after the dispute over Big Bash League club sales.
- On Monday, Cricket Australia Chair Mike Baird resigned after Cricket NSW withdrew support for his re-appointment, ending his three-year tenure leading the governing body.
- Tensions surrounding Big Bash League privatization plans caused the rift, as Cricket NSW, chaired by John Knox, staunchly opposed private ownership despite Baird's push for the model.
- Although Baird retained majority support from other states, NSW rejected his proposal to serve as an independent director, even as Cricket Australia reported a 40 per cent increase in participation this year.
- Decorated former Test batsman David Boon will assume the interim CA chair role at next month's AGM, with a search for a permanent successor beginning immediately.
- Baird's exit also triggers a reshuffle at the International Cricket Council, where he chaired the financial and commercial affairs committee, ahead of the board's November meeting in Bali.
