After retirement, Dion Nash was in a unique position for a long time. New Zealand brought him back again. Although in a different role. New Zealand Cricket has elected this former all-rounder and national selector as the director of the board.
Nash comes in the position vacated by another former pacer Martin Snedden. Due to the rotation policy, Snedden stepped aside after serving in various roles for a long time. Who served as Chief Executive, Board Member and Board Chairman and ICC Director.
Nash played 32 Tests and 81 ODIs for the Kiwis from 1992 to 2002. He was also one of the members of New Zealand that won the then ICC Knockout title (now the Champions Trophy) in 2000. In just his fifth Test at Lord's, he took ten wickets along with a half-century.
In early 1999, regular captain Stephen Fleming was injured. At that time, he served as acting captain in 7 ODIs and three Tests. After retirement in 2005 he got the responsibility of selector. After that, however, Nash chose business as a career.
