WACA Ground Improvement Project: Western Australia chief executive Christina Matthews said she would step down at the end of the current season after overseeing a period of enormous transformation and prosperity for cricket in the state in her 12 years at the role.

The announcement comes a week before Australia play Pakistan in the first Test of international men’s summer in the country at the Optus Stadium. Christina is regarded as one of the most successful cricket administrators in Australia.

“It has been a privilege to lead WA Cricket for the past 12 years and work alongside some of the best players, coaches, and staff in the game. I am humbled by what we have achieved, from the elite to community level, and am proud to be stepping aside with the game in excellent health,” said Christina in a statement.
