    Dion Nash Appointed as Director of New Zealand Cricket Board

    The New Zealand Cricket (NZC) elected former all-rounder and national selector Dion Nash as the new director of the board on Wednesday.

    He will be replacing Martin Snedden, who stepped down from the Board following a long service to the game as a player, chief executive, board member, chair of the board and ICC director.

    While speaking about the appointment of Dion Nash, board chairman Diana Pukepatu-Lyndon.

    “It’s good to have someone with Dion’s cricket and business experience coming onto the board at a time when Martin is stepping down,” NZC chair Diana Pukepatu-Lyndon said.

    “Dion has a strong interest in not just the playing of the game but [also] the business of the game, and that should help stand us in good stead.”

    “His mix of cricket, legal, and management expertise has been an important ingredient in the evolution of NZC from an old-fashioned incorporated society to a professional, modern and future-thinking organisation.”

    “Dion has a strong interest in not just the playing of the game but the business of the game, and that should help stand us in good stead,” she added.

    Dion Nash played 32 tests and 81 ODIs between 1992 and 2002 and was part of New Zealand’s title winning squad in the 2000 ICC knockout, which was later renamed as the Champions Trophy.

    He has 157 international wickets to his name, and has also hit a half century and picked up a ten wicket haul at Lord’s in the Longest format of the game.

    Nash has also stepped in as skipper for seven ODIs and three tests when Stephen Fleming was injured. After retirement, he become a selector in 2005, after which he build a career in business.
