Cricket NSW Chair John Knox has paid tribute to departing director Neil Maxwell after Maxwell indicated he would step down from his position on the CNSW board at the end of the month.
Born in Fiji, Maxwell has been a lifelong contributor to cricket, firstly as a player and then as a marketer, player manager, volunteer, administrator and cricket parent.
He was awarded NSW Blues cap number 647 in 1993 and was part of the Blues squad that won the Sheffield Shield and the domestic One-Day Cup in the 1993/94 summer.
He has been a director of CNSW for the past five years, playing a leading role in reinforcing the connection of past players with today’s game, driving a state-wide focus on participation with a particular focus on 5-12yr-olds, and encouraging CNSW’s partnership with Major League Cricket in the USA and the Washington Freedom franchise.
