At the conclusion of the current season (2024–2025), Nick Hockley, the CEO of Cricket Australia, said on Tuesday that he will leave the position after five years in charge.
After his predecessor Kevin Roberts resigned from CA in 2020, Hockley, who had been there for 13 years, became the company’s chief executive.
“This was a difficult decision, however following what promises to be a blockbuster summer and with our five-year strategic plan well progressed, this is the right time to pursue another challenge,” Hockley said in a statement issued by CA.
“This is not the time for goodbyes, as I remain completely focussed on the season ahead and supporting the Board on succession and a smooth transition,” he added.
CA Chair Mike Baird confirmed Hockley’s exit.
“As CEO, Nick navigated the sport through a period of unprecedented challenge during the (Covid) pandemic and has delivered significant growth and stability.
“The timing of Nick’s decision allows the Board to ensure a smooth transition and we will begin the process of finding and appointing his successor shortly,” said Baird.
After taking over as acting CEO of Cricket Australia for a year, Hockley was named temporary CEO in June 2020.
Since taking on the role of General Manager of Commercial and Marketing for the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, Hockley has been a crucial member of the governing board of CA, having joined in October of 2012.
