Former Australia women's cricketer Mel Jones has been elected as a full member representative of the International Cricket Council women's committee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jones has been a member of the Cricket Australia board since November 2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It is a tremendous honour and extremely humbling to be elected to the ICC Women's Committee and I look forward to continuing the council's excellent work in growing and supporting women's cricket globally," Jones was quoted as saying in statement by Cricket Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It is with great pride that I have witnessed the explosion in interest and participation in women's cricket since my time as a player and I am excited by the huge opportunity before us to take the game even further."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jones joins Catherine Campbell (New Zealand), who was also added alongwith Jones, former Gloucestershire batsman Vikram Bannerjee and Sri Lanka cricket official Lt Col Manuja Kariapperuma in the committee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I would like to congratulate Catherine on her elevation to the ICC Women's Committee and thank fellow nominees Vikram Banerjee and Lt Col Manuja Kariapperuma," she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earl Eddings, the Cricket Australia chairman, said world cricket would benefit greatly from Jones's influence and input on the ICC Women's Committee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Mel is one of the most important and reasoned voices in cricket and has made an outstanding contribution to the CA board since she joined 17 months ago," Eddings said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"As a player, commentator and administrator, Mel continues to be a driving force in the evolution of women's cricket in Australia and, with this appointment, will now expand her purview even wider," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"On behalf of everyone at CA, and Australian Cricket generally, I am delighted with Mel's elevation to the ICC Women's Committee and look forward to the impact she will made on the women's game globally."<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/04\/icc-womens-committe-elects-australias-mel-jones-as-full-member-representative.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for ICC Women's Committee Elects Australia's Mel Jones As Full Member Representative", "alt_title": "Mel Jones", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "ICC Women's Committee Elects Australia's Mel Jones As Full Member Representative On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Former Australia women's cricketer Mel Jones has been elected as a full member representative of the International Cricket Council women's committee.\r\n\r\n", "seo_keywords": "ICC, Mel Jones", "tag": "", "tagging": "ICC,Mel Jones,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "icc-womens-committee-elects-australias-mel-jones-as-full-member-representative", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2890", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-04-03 13:26:20", "updated": "2021-04-03 13:26:47", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "Mel Jones, ICC Women's Committee, ICC", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "21", "jio_date": "2021-04-03 13:26:20", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-04-03 13:26:20", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/icc-womens-committee-elects-australias-mel-jones-as-full-member-representative-73719" }
