The selection process undertaken was rigorous, with the participation of the International Cricket Council (ICC), as well as an independent HR professional drawn from the Jersey business community. A total of 17 applications were received.

Sarah brings great business experience as well as her existing detailed knowledge of Jersey Cricket to the role, having acted for the organisation across a wide range of activities in her Non-Executive capacity over the past few years. We are delighted to welcome her as our new CEO and look forward to continuing success and progress for Jersey Cricket with her at the helm”.
