Nick Hockley, the CEO of Cricket Australia (CA), is set to leave his position in March 2025 after a five-year tenure, as per an announcement by the Australia’s cricket board on Tuesday.
Hockley initially assumed the the role of interim CEO in June 2020 following the resignation of Kevin Roberts who had received serious criticism over the handling of the COVID-19 shutdown
Eleven months later, Hockley was appointed to the position permanently.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, he advised CA’s board of his decision after chair Mike Baird and other directors indicated that they did not envision him serving as CEO for 10 years.
During his tenure, Hockley played a key role in guiding CA through the challenges of the pandemic, implementing a five-year strategy, and securing significant seven-year media deals with Seven West Media, Foxtel Group and Disney Star in India.
“This was a difficult decision,” said Hockley, who has worked in the Australian game in various roles for 13 years.
