"Thanks to the work of the current administration, the game has strong fundamentals in place. I want to ensure we build on this momentum so Australian cricket continues to thrive – from local parks to the nation's biggest stadiums," he added.
CA chair Mike Baird thanked Hockley for his contributions, including the massive broadcast deal, MOU, and seven-year content strategy.
