The Business | SPOThurRsday ,T NoveS mber 291, 20 18 Quick Read Eddings tapped to lead Australian cricket SYDNEY: Australian cricket’s embattled governing body named Earl Eddings to lead the organisation out of crisis Wednesday, opting for a safe pair of hands already serving on the board. Cricket Aus - tralia said in a statement that it had bumped Eddings -- a direc - tor of a risk-management company -- from deputy and interim chairman to have the role full time. "I am honoured to serve in this posi - tion and am committed to making cricket stronger and a game that we can all be proud of," Eddings said. Cricket Australia has been buffeted by a series of bad performances by the men´s test side, after a ball tampering scandal saw the captain and vice captain stood down for cheating. Amid the fallout from the fiasco, former chairman David Peever also quit under intense pressure. The sport’s top body had been under some pressure to appoint a former Australian player. But likely replacement ex-captain Mark Taylor recently quit the board, while CA director and ex-fast bowler Michael Kasprowicz was overlooked. The board instead opted for "a well-regarded member of the team with a solid understand - ing of our history," said director Jacquie Hey. "Earl’s in - volvement over the past decade provides continuity in a time of change," she added. In March, top players were caught using sandpaper to alter the ball at a Test match in Cape Town. Then-captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner were banned for 12 months, and batsman Cameron Bancroft for nine months over their roles in the incident. Coach Darren Lehmann quit soon after and then-chief exec - utive James Sutherland stepped down last month. A Cricket Australia commissioned report, found an "arrogant" and "controlling" culture within the organisation contributed to players cheating in the pursuit of victory. —AFP Tehsil Lahore City girls ABU DHABI: Lewis Hamilton drives the (44) Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team Mercedes WO9 leads the field into turn one at the start. clinch volleyball title By Our Sports Reporter LAHORE: Tehsil Lahore City girls continued their dom - inance in Sports Board Punjab Inter-Tehsil Annual Sports Ronaldo hits 100 Champions League Calendar events when they grabbed volleyball title com - prehensively in the best-of-three contest at Lahore College for Women University Jail Road on Wednesday.
