Heath Mills: NZ Cricket Players Association chief executive on his resignation

One of New Zealand sport’s biggest powerbrokers is stepping down.

NZ Cricket Players Association boss Heath Mills has announced today that he will be leaving in June, after 25 years with the association.

Mills says the time's right to step down, as he wants to focus on his new role as executive chairman of the World Cricketers’ Association.

"The time's right for me now to step aside as CEO of the New Zealand Players' Association. It's been a hard decision to make, because it's been part of my life for so long and I've loved representing players."
