Todd Greenberg to succeed Nick Hockley as Cricket Australia's CEO

Todd Greenberg will succeed Nick Hockley as Cricket Australia's CEO, the organization announced on Tuesday, December 3. However, Greenberg, the current CEO of the Australian Cricketers' Association, will take up the post and start his tenure in March 2025.

Hockley had replaced Kevin Roberts at the helm in 2020 and announced in August 2024 that he would step down from the role after this summer. Greenberg will be the 15th man to either be the chief secretary or head of the governing body for the sport in the country.

The 53-year-old addressed his appointment, claiming that he was excited to take up the challenge to drive Australian cricket to even greater heights. He said, as quoted by cricket.com.au:

"This is an extremely exciting time for cricket with the rapid growth of the game across the globe creating fantastic opportunities, while also presenting some challenges to ensure Australian cricket retains its position at the very peak of the game."

"Thanks to the work of the current administration, the game has strong fundamentals in place. I want to ensure we build on this momentum so Australian cricket continues to thrive – from local parks to the nation's biggest stadiums," he added.

CA chair Mike Baird thanked Hockley for his contributions, including the massive broadcast deal, MOU, and seven-year content strategy.
