The shake-up at the top of English cricket continued on Friday when Colin Graves was nominated for chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board.
Graves, who is the chairman of county Yorkshire, is set to be elected unopposed for the biggest job in the English game as no other nominations were received by the governing body from England’s first-class counties.
He will replace Giles Clarke, who has had three terms in the position since 2007.
The ECB recently hired Tom Harrison as its new chief executive.
Since the Ashes whitewash to Australia at the end of 2013 and start of 2014, the ECB has also parted from team director Andy Flower plus coaches Graham Gooch and Mushtaq Ahmed.
