By AFP News August 08, 2024 • 07:32 AM View: 600

The chief executive of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), who had to manage the fall-out after Australian cricketers were abused at Lord's following a row during an Ashes Test, is to take over the running of Cheltenham Racecourse.

Guy Lavender, 57, will switch sports later this year when he takes over at Cheltenham, which stages English horseracing's premier annual jumps meeting.
