Diana Puketapu-Lyndon is going to enter the history books as she is set to become the first female chairperson of New Zealand Cricket (NZC), replacing the experienced Martin Snedden.

Snedden, a former chief executive of NZC, has served three terms as the director on its board. He has stepped down as the director with another year still left on his contract to allow Puketapu-Lyndon a smooth transition into the job.

“I’ve taken the decision to step down from the role of Board chair, as well as NZC’s representative on the ICC Board. Both these decisions have been taken in the name of ensuring good, sound governance succession planning, as well as taking advantage of what is an excellent opportunity for a leadership refresh,” Snedden was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
