Dr Lachlan Henderson to step down as Cricket Australia chair

MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia's chair Dr Lachlan Henderson on Sunday announced that he will stand down from the role early next year due to his conflicting work commitments. Henderson, who took up the position in February this year from interim chair Richard Freudenstein, said that he is unable to devote the time required to head CA's board due to his recent appointment as chief executive officer of health insurance provider HBF in Perth. However, he will remain a member of CA's nine-person board of directors.

"The new role I've taken in my home city Perth will make it difficult to devote the time required as chair, so I have decided this is the right time to hand over the role," Henderson was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au

"It's been a great privilege to serve as chair and to help oversee some of the great work being done by the executive and across Australian cricket," he added. (IANS)
