Sir Andrew Strauss Was appointed as the England and Wales Cricket Board committee’s Seat.
Strauss, who had been this week knighted in the resignation honours of Theresa May, gave up his position as manager of championships last year to invest some time along with his wife, Ruth.
The captain has agreed to seat the ECB cricket committee, and has continued to work with all the organisation, as well as establishing the Ruth Strauss Foundation.
Peter Wright, that has been in place was replaced by him.
“It is a real pleasure to go back to ECB in this new capability. ECB and the entire cricket family have been a crucial source of support within a very tough year and it’s very amazing to be back at Lord’s, a place that has become a second home to me,” Strauss said.
“I am extremely enthusiastic about creating and increasing championships in England and Wales and that I look forward to working together with my colleagues on the cricket committee to continually drive all aspects of the professional game, including women’s, men’s and handicap cricket.
“I’ve seen first-hand how this summer of cricket has inspired more people to fall in love with the sport and I can’t wait to help build on its achievement.”
