In a significant move, Brian MacNeice, Chair of Cricket Ireland, has been appointed Chair of the ETPL Board, while Andrew May, CFO of Cricket Ireland, will continue as a Board Director and core member of the ETPL founding team.
Further strengthening the leadership team, Warren Deutrom, former CEO of Cricket Ireland, joins the ETPL on a full time basis as Director, ETPL and Chair of Rules X, the parent company of the ETPL.
