AUCKLAND: Former New Zealand cricketer Roger Twose has been appointed director by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) to replace Greg Barclay, who was required to step down upon his election to the ICC chair.

Steve Tew, the CEO of NZ Rugby between 2008 and 2019, has been roped in by the NZC as a board observer.

Barclay, who recently succeeded Shashank Manohar as the second independent chairman of the International Cricket Council, was director of NZC since 2012. IANS
