BBL row: Mike Baird resigns as Cricket Australia chair; David Boon named successor

Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird has announced his resignation amid ongoing disputes regarding the privatisation of the Big Bash League. David Boon will step in as interim head while leadership looks for a permanent replacement following Baird's departure at the upcoming annual general meeting.

Baird leaves behind strong financial figures, pointing to record revenue, attendance, and broadcast metrics from his four-year tenure. The outgoing chair and Boon will coordinate a handover period as state boards continue debating equity control and equity models for the T20 tournament.
