Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket have confirmed that Ralph Waters will assume the role of chairman of the organising committee for the 2015 World Cup ? a position left vacant following the death of James Strong earlier this month.
Strong died as a result of ?lung complications? following surgery. Waters, who previously served as deputy chairman, will now step up to the top role ? overseeing preparations for the 2015 tournament, which will take place in Australia and New Zealand.
Waters, recognised as one of New Zealand?s most prominent businessmen, will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the trans-Tasman venture. He is currently the chairman of Fletcher Building and Woolworths, as well as a director of Fonterra Co-Operative and Asciano.
?Like myself, James had lived and worked in Australia and New Zealand, and was determined to put on a truly world class tournament in 2015,? said Waters. ?I share his vision and will work closely with the ICC (International Cricket Council), Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket to deliver a successful tournament for cricket fans around the world.?
ICC president Alan Isaac added: ?James? passion and expertise will be missed by us all, but I know Ralph shares the same love for the game and together we will deliver a great tournament.?
