Embattled Cricket Australia chairman Peever quits – board
SYDNEY, Nov 1, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Embattled Cricket Australia chairman David
Peever quit Thursday after coming under intense pressure following a scathing
independent review of the body triggered by a ball-tampering scandal.
“Cricket Australia has today confirmed that Mr. David Peever has announced
his resignation as chairman of the board of Cricket Australia, effective
immediately,” the governing body said in a statement.
His deputy Earl Eddings was appointed as interim chairman.
