Amiss and administration

In the Indian newspaper DNA Vijay Tagore interviews former England opener Dennis Amiss, who also has plenty of experience as a cricket administrator - 12 years as Warwickshire chief executive and several as the ECB's deputy chairman.

You have to have some other skills to be a successful administrator. I was very lucky that I had both cricketing and business backgrounds. I could bring that into administration that I’ve done in Warwickshire and England and Wales Cricket Board.

It is not easy because here they are looking for business-oriented people to run the counties. There is so much pressure to make money in the game. If you don’t, your club is going to suffer. The chairman and chief executive have to have these backgrounds.
