MELBOURNE: Former Australia captain Belinda Clark has announced she will step down from her Cricket Australia (CA) role after three decades of service to cricket.

Clark, who has been CA's Executive General Manager (Community Cricket) for the past two-and-half years, and worked in cricket administration for more than 25 years, will step down from her post on November 30 this year. However, she will continue to serve as the director of the Local Organising Committee for the ICC T20 World Cup which is scheduled to be held in Australia in 2022.

The 50-year-old said now was the right time to step down, allowing her time to focus on her passion of helping empower girls to find and explore their leadership gene. IANS
