Jamie Cox will resign his position as a national cricket selector, continuing a number of recent changes that has seen the Australian chairman of selectors step down and coach Tim Nielsen asked to reapply for his position.
Cricket Australia said Friday that Cox, a former opening batsman for Tasmania state and captain for England county side Somerset, resigned but would stay on until a new selection panel is announced. He replaced former Australia captain Allan Border on the panel in November 2006.
On Aug. 19, Andrew Hilditch stepped down as chairman of selectors following the release of a report by former mining company executive Don Argus, who held a seven-month review following Australia’s loss of a home Ashes series to England.
