Barry Richards resigns at Queensland

BARRY RICHARDS, the former South African Test player, resigned as chief executive of Queensland Cricket yesterday, writes Richard Bright.

Richards blamed family reasons for his decision to move from Brisbane to Perth after a busy spell at Queensland, during which he introduced the Bulls logo for the team and other marketing strategies. The other five Australian states have subsequently followed their lead.

Richards said he had not had any contact with the Western Australian Cricket Association, who several years ago were said to be courting him, and did not give any clues as to his new career direction.
