Glamorgan CCC Media Release01-Aug-2002Following Lord MacLaurin’s recent announcement that he is not seekingre-election as Chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board and subsequent speculation in the media, Tony Lewis has confirmed that he does not intend to stand for the position.In a statement issued today he said:”I was pleased that Glamorgan should ask me to stand as Chairman of theEngland and Wales Cricket Board, though that came at a time when LordMacLaurin was still contemplating re-election and therefore before DavidMorgan had announced his own intention to stand.I promised to make a decision that was not rushed. Lord MacLaurin’s suddenannouncement of impending retirement, however, requires a swifter decisionfor the benefit of the Counties.Having considered the matter I am content not to seek election, especiallyas Glamorgan’s David Morgan, who has already put in sterling work for theBoard, is a friend from the same stable.”
