Auckland, Feb 15 (UNI) Former New Zealand cricketer Roger Twose was on Monday appointed director by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) to replace Greg Barclay, who was required to step down upon his election to the ICC chair.
Barclay, who recently succeeded Shashank Manohar as ICC's second independent chairman, was director of NZC since 2012.
Twose played over 100 games for the Black Caps. Regarded as a key influencer within his era, he was a pivotal member of the team that won the Champions Trophy in 2000 and was ranked 2nd in the world for ODI batsmen that same year.
After his retirement from cricket in 2001, Twose pursued a career in banking, working his way up to senior management level with the National Bank. Twose also served as the director of Willis Bond & Company Limited.
Meanwhile, Steve Tew, the CEO of NZ Rugby between 2008 and 2019, was roped in by the NZC as a board observer.
During Tew's time as NZR CEO, the All Blacks and Black Ferns both maintained number one world rankings for 10 years and won multiple world cups.
