Bristol City CEO Richard Gould has been linked with a shock return to cricket with the 52-year-old reportedly among the front-runners to become the new chief executive of the ECB.
The Cricketer reports that Gould is on a shortlist of candidates being considered for one of English cricket’s top jobs with Durham CEO Tim Bostock supposedly his main rival for the post.
Having served as commercial director at Ashton Gate in the early 2000s, Gould moved into cricket as CEO for Somerset from 2005-2011, followed by Surrey from 2011-2021, before moving back to his native Bristol last summer to replace Mark Ashton following his departure to Ipswich Town.
