New Zealand Cricket: Shortly after New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced that it will pursue the proposed NZ20 franchise league as the preferred option for its domestic T20 competition, a new franchise-style Twenty20 league, board member Dion Nash resigned from his post.

On Monday, The NZC Board has made an in-principle decision to support the establishment of the new league, subject to the satisfactory resolution of key commercial, structural, and governance matters.

The decision followed a period of deliberation in which the board considered two options: backing the NZ20 model or pursuing the inclusion of a New Zealand-based team in Australia’s Big Bash League, an idea that had already revealed significant differences within the sport.
