Jack Clarke, the Cricket Australia chair who oversaw the introduction of the Big Bash League and a major overhaul of the governing body's board of directors, has died in Adelaide.
Clarke’s time in the role was marked by numerous key decisions made for the future of the game, even as CA wrestled with the declining fortunes of the national men’s team following the retirements of Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Adam Gilchrist and Justin Langer, to name four. However, Clarke did face criticism for his reluctance to appoint a full-time selection panel, which between 2006 and 2011 was chaired by the part-timer and former opening batter Andrew Hilditch – a colleague of Clarke’s in the Adelaide legal fraternity.
Clarke retired as chair later in 2011, and was replaced by the former Test opener Wally Edwards, who followed through on the structural changes that Clarke had helped to initiate.
