KEY POINTS:
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has appointed board member Justin Vaughan as its chief executive.
The announcement was made by NZC chairman Sir John Anderson today.
"As an NZC board member, a former Black Cap and a successful chief executive officer, Justin has all the attributes required to take over from Martin Snedden and to lead New Zealand Cricket," Sir John said.
Vaughan represented New Zealand in six tests and 18 one-day internationals from 1992-1997.
He is a qualified medical practitioner and is currently the chief executive of BrainZ instruments, an Auckland based medical technology company listed on the ASX.
"I have had a long association with cricket and hope to build on the hard work which has taken cricket in New Zealand from a largely amateur structure in the early 1990s to the professional sport that it is today," said Vaughan who begins the role on June 7.
Vaughan replaces Martin Snedden who stepped down to become chief executive of Rugby New Zealand 2011 Ltd.
