Tasmanian Boon, whose 7422 runs in 107 Tests included 21 centuries, will join the CA board on March 28 to fill the vacancy left by Paul Green.
After a six-year stint as Cricket Tasmania’s representative on the CA board, Green has stepped down.
CA chairman Mike Baird said Boon, who also scored 5964 runs in 181 one-day internationals, would bring “vast experience as a player and cricket administrator” to the board.
“David is an iconic figure in Australian cricket universally respected for his accomplishments on the field and, more recently, through his impressive contribution to Tasmanian, Australian and international cricket,” Baird said of Boon, who has been a Cricket Tasmania director since 2014 and chairman since 2022.
Boon was also a national selector from 2000 and 2011, and an ICC match referee – a role he will relinquish – for the past 14 years.
“David has continued to gain first-hand insights into international cricket in his role as an ICC match referee and this will be invaluable as we negotiate the game’s rapidly changing landscape,” Baird said.
Baird also thanked Green for his work as a CA director, which included a “vital contribution” as the board’s audit and risk committee chairman.
