CA review will tell all, according to Taylor

CRICKET Australia board member Mark Taylor has promised the post-sandpaper scandal reviews have pulled no punches.

The former Test captain said the long-awaited review findings will be confronting when they are made public on Monday.

They will come more than six months after CA commissioned the warts-and-all appraisal of the governing body in light of the Cape Town cheating scandal.

There were two reviews, looking at on-field and corporate culture, and Taylor said there are 41 recommendations.

He added CA had not edited the findings.

“I have seen the review. It will be hard-hitting, confronting for CA and for anyone who loves the game of cricket,” Taylor told Channel 9. “Everything is on the table.”

On Friday, CA chairman David Peever said after the body’s annual general meeting that there had been no delay in releasing the findings.

The Australian Cricketers’ Association said CA had missed an opportunity by not having the findings available at the AGM.

Peever was re-elected chairman at the AGM and the ACA wanted state associations to have a copy of the findings beforehand, so they could make a more informed decision on whether he should stay at the helm.

Taylor defended the decision to go ahead with the election before the findings were known.

“The CA constitution still allows the states and territories to get together if they think a change is needed at board level, me included, whether at AGM or any time after,” he said.

“They are well within their rights under the constitution to do so.”
