Eddings named full-time CA chairman
Sydney, Nov 28 (IBNS): Earl Eddings, a former first-grade batsman and president of Premier Cricket side North Melbourne, has become Cricket Australia's chairman on a full-time basis.
Eddings had been CA's interim chairman following the departure of David Peever, who was forced to resign following The Ethics Centre's scathing recent assessment of the governing body.
The Victorian always loomed as Peever's full-time successor; he had accompanied Peever at International Cricket Council (ICC) meetings, while he formally become CA's heir apparent when appointed deputy chairman at this year's annual general meeting, read the Cricket Australia website.
The board, earlier this month, settled on Eddings as their choice to oversee one of CA's most challenging chapters.
"Earl's involvement over the past decade provides continuity in a time of change and enables the board to maintain strong relations with the ICC, other member countries and our valued partners," CA independent director Jacquie Hey said in a statement as osted by the CA website.
"Earl is a well-regarded member of the team with a solid understanding of our history and the need for better working relationships across the cricket community."
