After nearly two decades in senior administration, Clare Connor will step away from the ECB in July 2026. Her exit follows the Women’s T20 World Cup final and marks the end of a period that transformed England’s women’s cricket. Before moving into leadership, Connor represented her country 111 times and captained a landmark Ashes triumph. She subsequently directed the move toward professional agreements and made history as the inaugural female president of the MCC, fundamentally altering the sport's administration.
