Rick McCosker, the former Australian opening batsman, has been named to chair a player-driven panel that will look to set a ‘charter’ on the standards of behaviour expected within the Australian men’s team, Cricket Australia (CA) Chairman David Peever has announced.
McCosker, who played 25 Tests between 1975 and 1980, will be joined on the panel by two former players and two active players.
Peever said that McCosker will “advise on the most appropriate procedures to guide his work”.
“Further details will be announced as soon as possible once we have worked carefully through this process.”
Peever also revealed that after the completion of the review, recommendations will be made to the CA Board. “Australian cricketers are role models for our young people and ambassadors for our country,” he added. “Cricket fans and the Australian public rightly have high expectations regarding the standards of behaviour of our national teams. The independent review will provide an important foundation for ensuring these expectations are met.”
