Cricket Australia vouches for changes in cultural and organizational structures within

The ball-tampering incident in Cape Town has left a bad taste in many people’s mouths, especially if one is a fan of good Australia cricket. The ordeal has now ensured that all three players involved in the scandal and the coach – Darren Lehmann are now past employees of the board. However, the crackdown for the same is far from over. Many administrators of the game have blasted the board for having differential cultural and structural problems in terms of governance.

While the complaints have indeed been made, it would seem as though Cricket Australia is certainly not one to take the matter lightly. So much so, that they have gone ahead and launched a full review into the same. Former Aussie skipper, Ricky Ponting however, believes that it isn’t a problem with the culture, so to speak.

David Peever – Fans have the right to have high expectations of the team

David Peever, the chairman of Cricket Australia went ahead and released a statement earlier today wherein he said that the cricketers are role-models for the younger people in the country and ambassadors of the sport. “Australian cricketers are role models for our young people and ambassadors for our country,” said Cricket Australia chairman David Peever in a statement.

“Cricket fans and the Australian public rightly have high expectations regarding the standards of behavior of our national teams. The independent review will provide an important foundation for ensuring these expectations are met. In addition, Cricket Australia will initiate a separate player-driven process to consider a ‘charter’ that sets out standards of behavior and expectations of Australian men’s teams.

“It is anticipated that this process will include assessments as to whether changes to codes and standards governing player conduct are required. The outcomes from this process will form reference points for the independent review.”
