The current Chief of Cricket Australia, Nick Hockley, declared earlier in August of this year that his term would expire in March 2025. Following a number of highs and lows over his five years in office, Hockley’s tenure as “Chief of CA” will come to an end. Along with many other things, it featured splits with former head coach Justin Langer, triumphs, and scandals.
Following his pivotal role in carrying out a successful Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020–21 match against India in the face of COVID restrictions, Hockley was named full-time CA leader in May 2021. The “Hockley-Era” of Cricket Australia included the subsequent events, the “Tim Paine Scandal” episode, the change to the Pat Cummins period, and a few significant turnarounds.
Cricket Australia, meanwhile, is keeping a close watch on Nick Hockley’s possible replacement as CA Chief. Three well-known figures from Cricket Australia’s management team are vying to replace Nick Hockley as CA chief.
Under condition of anonymity, a source with knowledge of the developments confirmed to, “As of right now, the three names, who are primarily in contention for the post of CA chief are Todd Greenberg [CEO of the Australian Cricketer’s Association], Alistair Dobson [Head of BBL], and James Allsopp [Chief of Cricket, Cricket Australia].”
Todd Greenberg, the chief of ACA, is anticipated to be the winner
The Australian Cricketer’s Association CEO, Todd Greenberg, is reportedly leading this contest, according to the source. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if he shows enthusiasm in taking on this role. Prior to beginning his career with Cricket Australia, Greenberg had a prosperous time serving as the National Rugby League’s (NRL) CEO.
In addition to Greenberg’s compelling argument, the number of Indian viewers of the BBL has increased significantly during Alistair Dobson’s leadership of the competition. He is one of the three candidates running to become the Chief of Cricket Australia.
In addition to Dobson and Todd Greenberg, James Allsopp is anticipated to be given consideration. Earlier this year, Cricket Australia named Allsopp the new position of “Chief of Cricket.”
