Former Black Cap Dion Nash has quit his role as New Zealand Cricket (NZC) board director.
Four hours after it was established that the proposed NZ20 franchise league was the best choice for the nation’s domestic T20 tournament, NZC announced Nash’s departure on Monday afternoon.
According to NZC’s statement, Nash, who was elected to the board in 2024, claimed he no longer agreed with the organisation’s future course. “In the end, I reached a point where I felt it was the right time to step aside,” he stated.

The Reason Why Rugby Is So Important In New Zealand?
The 21-year-old Super Smash would be replaced by the new league, which NZC has earlier declared it would accept in principle. The action comes after a board study into a prospective expansion into Australia’s Big Bash League, as well as other ways to revitalise the domestic game.
“We’re excited about what lies ahead,” he stated. “We believe NZ20 is a chance to create something fresh, exciting, and distinctly Kiwi – bringing fans closer to the game, creating new opportunities for players, and adding a modern edge to cricket in this country.”
Puketapu-Lyndon pointed out that recent results, such as the Black Caps making it to the men’s final and the White Ferns winning the T20 World Cup, supported the national brand’s global significance.
Reaching an agreement with NZ20 and asking members for approval are the next stages.
The organisation declared that while talks were ongoing, it would not make any more comments.
