Nash Joins NZ Cricket Board, Succeeding Martin Snedden

Former New Zealand allrounder and national selector Dion Nash has been elected to the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) board, filling the vacancy left by Martin Snedden's departure. Snedden stepped down following extensive contributions to the sport as a player, chief executive, board member, chair, and ICC director.  

NZC chair Diana Pukepatu-Lyndon welcomed Nash's appointment, highlighting his dual expertise in cricket and business. "Dion’s experience in both the game and its commercial aspects will serve us well as we move forward," she said.  

Nash, who represented New Zealand in 32 Tests and 81 ODIs between 1992 and 2002, was a key member of the 2000 ICC KnockOut-winning squad, now known as the Champions Trophy. His memorable performances include a ten-wicket haul and a half-century at Lord's during his fifth Test.  

In 1999, Nash captained New Zealand in the absence of Stephen Fleming, leading the team in seven ODIs and three Tests. After retiring, he took on the role of selector for the men’s team in 2005 before transitioning to a successful business career.  

Nash's appointment marks a new chapter for NZC as it continues to balance the sport’s growth on and off the field.
