Media Statement from Scott Weenink, CEO, New Zealand Cricket

I have advised the Board that I will step down as CEO of New Zealand Cricket on 30 January 2026.   After careful consideration, it has become clear that I hold a different view from several Member Associations, and the NZCPA, on the future priorities for NZC, including the long-term direction of the game and the best role for T20 cricket in New Zealand. Given these differences, I believe it is in the best interests of the organisation that new leadership takes NZC forward from here.
