Martin Snedden - NZ Cricket's New Chairman

-
New Zealand have elected their nation's former cricketer, Martin Snedden as their new Chairman. He has played 25 Tests and 93 One Day Games where his career lasted for 10 years, from 1980 to 1990. He will fill the place of Greg Barclay, who has to step down for assuming his duties on International Cricket Council as newly elected Chairman.

Apart from International cricketing career as a bowler, he also has vast experience in serving at top positions. He has been a former executive of New Zealand Cricket and has served as the board member of the organisation from 1990-1992, 1999-2001 and again from 2013-present. He was also a member of the ICC chief executives committee from 2001-2007 and comes with a vast experience in the business of sport, having held roles as chief executive of Rugby World Cup 2011, Duco Promotions, and Tourism Association NZ, as well as being a director of the World Masters Games 2017.

After his selection as Chairman, Martin Snedden said that " I'd like to thank Greg, who has gave us a right direction to serve and lead since 2016. It is a measure of success he has overseen in this role that he has been now elected in the new ICC Chair position "

"Equally, I'd like to thank my fellow NZC directors for their support. I know that, together with chief executive David White and his excellent management team, we'll help lead the sport out of this global pandemic and embrace a strong and sustainable future.

"I look forward to working with the members of NZC, the Major Associations and Districts Associations, as well as the New Zealand Cricket Players Association and the wider cricket family in New Zealand."

During his tenure as a board member from 2013, New Zealand cricket had seen some more raise in their cricket. Their performance across all three formats, started to dominate. Only thing that pricks them is they are yet to win an ICC Trophy. Yet, their performances in the ICC Tournaments, held during this period, shows their triumph and their skills. Can we expect New Zealand to clinch a single title ? Only Time knows.

Happy 39th Birthday to Jonathan Trott. He was born on Cape Town, South Africa. He played his U15 and U19 matches for South Africa, but represented England national cricket team in 2007. He made his T20I debut in 2007, ODI and test debuts in 2009. His career is so short span but in this small period he made some impeccable performances which the England cricket would never forget. He has been named as ICC Cricketer of the Year Award and ECB Cricketer of the Year Award in the year 2011. He was also awarded Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2011. While seeing his technique, he is something different from other English Batsmen, who both technically and mentally. He was a proper top order batsman, who instead of hitting hard and smashing for huge sixes, he plays calm and fine, with much elegance for four. He doesn't seem to hit the ball so hard. Sometimes, he even pushes the ball for a boundary. A strong batsman in Leg Side, and played orthodox cricket in his entire career. He is al...
