Mel Jones to step down from Cricket Australia board

Mel Jones will step down from Cricket Australia's board in October to focus on her media and other work commitments, according to ESPNcricinfo.

Jones has served as one of nine board directors since December 2019 but also works as a cricket commentator in Australia and abroad, primarily with Sky Sports in England.

She is also an advocate for inclusion, most notably working with the Victorian Government's Change Our Game initiative to encourage female participation and leadership in sport.

Jones, who played five Tests and 61 ODIs, said choosing not to stand for re-election to the CA board would allow her to focus on her work overseas next year.
