I am mindful to write to you as an ex-member and a previous chair of the development board at the Leicestershire County Cricket Club.
In my estimation, strategically the club need to do the following:
First and foremost, appoint the right chief executive.
Easier said than done but proper processes must be adhered to and I would hope a leader who can inspire will be appointed, ideally with a good knowledge of county cricket.
Secondly, Neil Davidson's
appointment to the board will be counter-productive.
In his term of office as the chairman of the club, chief executives came and went, including Kevin Hill, David Smith, Gus Mackay and more!
Key Players, including Darren Maddy, Darren Stevens, Ben
Smith, David Masters and more moved on.
Two jewels in the crown, in terms of James Whittaker and Tim Boon, both now in key positions in England's cricket hierarchy were lost to the club.
To think this same person could be back at the helm fills me with horror!
Steve White, Leicester.
