Incoming chief executive Richard Kenyon is to lead a review of Lancashire’s cricket operation and performance structure.<\/p>\n

Kenyon, who spent more than a decade at Everton, will officially take over the role from Daniel Gidney on 5 October after a 10-month spell as Nottinghamshire chief executive.<\/p>\n

The review will build on last week’s restructure<\/a> which confirmed the departure of director of cricket performance, Mark Chilton, and director of women’s cricket, David Thorley. <\/p>\n

It will assess Lancashire’s “performance environment”, including staff and player contracts, resources, and the pathway from academy to first team.<\/p>\n

Lancashire finished second-bottom of Division Two in the County Championship, bottom of the T20 Blast table, and failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the One-Day Cup.<\/p>\n

“Richard’s arrival comes at an important moment for the club,” club chairperson Dame Sarah Storey, told the club website., external<\/a><\/p>\n

“Among other items, as Lancashire Cricket’s new CEO, he will need to take a clear and objective look at our performance operation and what needs to change to improve results, particularly for our men’s side.<\/p>\n

“Everyone associated with Lancashire Cricket has high ambitions for our professional teams <\/p>\n

“We must now take stock of what is needed to enable the teams to deliver across all formats, guided by the club’s recently published Cricket Vision.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Incoming chief executive Richard Kenyon is to lead a review of Lancashire’s cricket operation and performance structure.
