Mark Taylor quits as Cricket Australia Board director
Sydney, Nov 5 (IBNS): Former Australia skipper Mark Taylor has resigned as the Director on the Cricket Australia Board.
Taylor, who has served on the CA Board since 2004, cited the need for Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers' Association to "work from a fresh page" as the reason for his departure, as per the Cricket Australia website.
The building of improved relations between the two parties had, he added, been his "principle brief" since the Cape Town scandal in March, and following on from the breakdown of relations during the MoU episode in 2017, the website further said.
"With a total of 13 years Board service, and as Cricket Australia's current longest-serving Director, I reached this decision following a high degree of soul searching and, importantly, having the game's best interests clearly in mind," the 50-time Test skipper was quoted as saying by the website.
"My decision also removes the conflicts that have lately emerged with me striving to achieve a better working relationship between CA and the ACA whilst having to address my ongoing role of reporting on cricket for the Nine Network," he said.
