"Not really a surprise": Dion Nash 'falls on his sword' as NZ20 receives NZ Cricket backing

NZ20 has triumphed, but the administration disaster at New Zealand Cricket continues. 

Former Black Cap Dion Nash —understood to have been against the local franchise league that has been provisionally accepted— has resigned from NZC's board. 

A statement says Nash was no longer aligned with the future direction of the organisation. 

NZ Herald Sports Reporter Alex Powell told Ryan Bridge that it’s not surprising to see Nash falling on his sword. 

He says it was sort of known behind the scenes that he was the one board member really against NZ20, and without him, they could’ve come to this conclusion a few months ago.
