Watson will now be a part of an extended ten-person board which includes three new appointments too- current Australian players Pat Cummins and Kristen Beams and former Australian cricketer, Lisa Sthalekar.
“Through a period of immense change, the players have been, and will continue to be, a strong voice in protecting what’s made our game of cricket great, while embracing opportunities that change inevitably brings,” Watson said in an official statement.
During the Annual General Meeting, he was appointed as the President of ACA.
