Trevor Hohns, Australia’s chief selector has reportedly quit his role ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. It is reported that Trevor Hohns has recently handed his notice. Former Australia batsman George Bailey is likely to replace him, according to the report.
Trevor Hohns had a combined 16 years as chief selector across two stints from 1995 to 2021. He was a selector in successful Australia’s World Cup campaigns of 1999 and 2003, apart from three successful Ashes defences and their series win in India in 2004.
Trevor Hohns Had Two Stints As National Selector
The 67-year-old, a former Australian spin bowler, became a selector in 1993 and under his first stint, Australia won a record 16 successive Test matches and claimed the 1999 and 2003 World Cups in a golden era. His current stint as chief selector began in 2016 when Rod Marsh quit following a string of heavy test defeats. George Bailey is a current selector, but Cricket Australia is yet to confirm the report.
Trevor Hohns recently handed in his notice after the second of two stints as chair of selectors. His time in charge has added up to a combined 16 years, spanning 1995 to 2021 and featuring many of Australian cricket’s most dominant summers as he quietly managed successful transitions of several generations of international cricketers. It’s unclear when exactly Trevor Hohns will step aside with Australia set to play five T20Is against Bangladesh from Tuesday.
