Former Surrey man Richard Gould has been confirmed as the new chief executive at the ECB after beating Durham boss Tim Bostock to the top job.
Gould, left Surrey in 2021 after ten years to become chief executive at Bristol City football club, but has made a swift return to the game he has extensive experience in having also been in charge at Somerset county cricket club for six years between 2005 and 2011.
A former tank commander in the British Army, Gould, 52, is an excellent choice having carved out a hugely successful sports administrative career with a proven track record of commercial success as well as collaborative engagement across communities and partners.
