Knight to step down from PCA role

HEATHER Knight has decided to step down as vice chair of the PCA following five years in the role, representing player views and progressing standards for professional cricketers in England and Wales.

- 

Initially appointed in the summer of 2020, Knight notified the PCA Board of her intention to leave her post earlier this year and, following a PCA Board meeting, has now officially stepped back from her role.

A new position created by then PCA chair Daryl Mitchell in 2020, the former England captain was appointed alongside James Harris as joint vice chairs, to support the chair and the players’ committee whilst providing an increased representation of current players on the Board.

With Harris elected chair in 2021, Derbyshire’s Anuj Dal was appointed his vice, alongside Knight and the 28-year-old will continue as the male vice chair until the end of his current term which is due to end at the 2027 AGM.
