Diana Puketapu-Lyndon will become the first female chair of New Zealand Cricket (NZC) after incumbent Martin Snedden announced on Wednesday he would be standing down early to allow her a smooth transition into the job.<\/p>\n
Puketapu-Lyndon, who is also chair of the New Zealand Olympic Committee and was chief financial officer on two America’s Cup campaigns, will step up from her role as deputy chair.<\/p>\n
Snedden, who has a year to go as a director on the board, also announced that he would be replaced as New Zealand’s representative on the International Cricket Council (ICC) by board member Roger Twose.<\/p>\n
The announcements were made at the annual general meeting of the governing body, which reported a surplus of NZ$10.7 million ($6.35 million) at the end of the last financial year.<\/p>\n
