Jersey’s director of cricket and men’s head coach Paul Hutchison has resigned.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old former Yorkshire, Sussex and Middlesex player took on the role in February 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n

In that time he led the island to its most famous victory – a T20 World Cup qualifying win over Scotland this summer<\/a> – where they narrowly missed out on making the 2026 T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The men’s side are also top of their ICC Challenge League pool – the first round of qualifying for the next Cricket World Cup. <\/p>\n

Jersey’s Cricket Board says Hutchison has decided to return to the UK for family reasons. <\/p>\n

“On behalf of the board and all at Jersey Cricket I would like to thank Paul for his contribution to Jersey Cricket over the past 18 months,” Jersey Cricket board chairman John Harris said in a statement. <\/p>\n

“He has brought some new ideas and supported the development of our cricket across our men and women’s teams with commendable results and progress.<\/p>\n

“We understand and respect the reasons for his departure, and wish him well for the future.”<\/p>\n

The island’s cricket authorities say they will use the winter break to “consider the role and ensure the right structures are in place ahead of the commitments in 2026”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jersey’s director of cricket and men’s head coach Paul Hutchison has resigned.
