It’s important to note that Scott Weenink served on the board of the New Zealand Cricket Players Association and will leave the position upon accepting his new position. Weenink spent the majority of his career playing first-class cricket, appearing in 12 first-class matches and seven List-A matches for Wellington between 1995 and 1997.
The previous chief executive of the board, David White, stated in May 2023 that he would be leaving the position in August after serving in that capacity for more than ten years. In three One Day Internationals and two Test matches, White has represented the Black Caps. Since the Hood Report’s recommendations were accepted by the prestigious cricket governance body in 1995, the 61-year-old is only the fourth chief to represent New Zealand cricket.
