Counties, Marylebone Cricket Club To Lose Seats On ECB Board

Counties and the Marylebone Cricket Club will "lose their seats" at the England & Wales Cricket Board "in a shake up of governance" of the ECB, according to Nick Hoult of the London TELEGRAPH. To comply with Sport England rules, the ECB is "looking to make its executive board entirely independent which will mean the two county representatives and MCC will be forced to stand down." Somerset County Cricket Chair Andy Nash and Surrey County Cricket Chair Richard Thompson are the "current county representatives on the board." Both will have to resign from their county roles "if they wish to remain" on the ECB’s exec board should the changes be agreed. MCC President Matthew Fleming "is in the same position." The plans are "still in the discussion phase but resistance among the counties is not thought to be strong at the moment and the changes are expected to be voted through" (TELEGRAPH, 9/13).
