Bevan To Stand Down As Pca Chief

Richard Bevan, chief executive of The Professional Cricketers’ Association
(PCA), has announced that he is to stand down from his post at the end of 2007
after 11 years at the helm.

Bevan is leaving to head up the League Managers Association who he will join
as chief executive in January 2008.

Bevan will work with the PCA’s executive team and its group chairman to
recruit a successor and ensure a smooth hand over. He will also continue with
the PCA as a non-executive director and as a trustee of the PCA Benevolent Fund
Charity.

Dougie Brown, chairman of the PCA, commented: ‘Richard, along with the
fantastic team he has built, has taken us from an organisation with a turnover
of just £40,000 to a group with one of circa £5m.

‘As a result, the PCA has become incredibly capable and supports players in a
whole range of financial and practical ways. His impact has been huge.’
