Former test batsman Simon Katich has ruled out taking a role on Cricket Australia’s embattled board and predicted that the bloodletting will continue in the wake of a scathing review into the governing body’s culture. Cricket Australia has been under siege since last week’s release of the Longstaff review, which was commissioned in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town.
Chairman David Peever resigned last Thursday after his position became untenable and the board’s longest-serving director, former Australia captain Mark Taylor, quit on Monday citing the toll of a tumultuous period for Australian cricket.
While announcing his resignation, Taylor said he hoped a former player would replace him on the board and nominated respected pundit Katich among a handful of potential successors. But Katich said his media roles and family commitments ruled him out of the job.
