Luke Wright will step down as England Men’s Selector at the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n
Luke Wright will step down from his position as England Men\u2019s Selector following the 2026 ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n
Wright, who was appointed in November 2022, has informed the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) of his decision after just over three years in the role.<\/p>\n
Wright said: \u201cIt has been a true honour and privilege to serve as an England Men\u2019s Selector over the past three years. I have fully immersed myself in the role and am incredibly proud of the players we have brought through.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe role demands significant travel and time away from home and with a young family the time feels right to pass the baton on to the next person. I now look forward with real interest and enthusiasm to whatever cricketing roles the future may hold.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to say a big thank you to my colleagues at the ECB, the players and coaches I\u2019ve worked alongside and especially Rob Key, who trusted me with such a responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
ECB Men\u2019s Managing Director, Rob Key, said: \u201cI have absolutely loved working with Luke. His contribution to English cricket has been exceptional and I trust his judgement as much as anyone. He has added so much more to this role than just being a selector.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very sad to see him go and I wish him and his family all the best for the future. I have no doubt that at some stage down the road he will enhance English cricket once again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luke Wright will step down as England Men’s Selector at the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,1602,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-385274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-text","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
