Former Black Cap Geoff Allott has been appointed New Zealand Cricket's new CEO.

The ex-fast bowler-turned-administrator served as NZC's general manager of cricket from 2008 to 2010, and board director between 2013 and 2021.

Allott says the role is 'a huge honour' and he's looking forward to getting stuck in.

"I know it's a big challenge, but to be given the reins of New Zealand Cricket - the sport that I love - is a huge honour. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity."
