Taverners Victoria is proud to announce that our President, Tony Dodemaide was chosen to replace the long serving Trevor Hohns.
Tony will join Chief Selector, George Bailey and Head Coach Justin Langer from mid- November this year to fill the missing third spot. This signals a return to the Cricket fraternity after a three year stint as General Manager of Hockey One. Hohns retired in July this year after 15 years as Chief Selector.
Leading into the 2021/22 Ashes series Tony Dodemaide stated, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a contribution not only in the immediate tournaments and series but also to help chart the medium to longer term course of the Australian men’s teams,”
Fellow past Australian teammate Merv Hughes tweeted: “What a fantastic appointment … could not find a better person for the job – congratulations and good luck.”
Ben Oliver, Cricket Australia’s Executive General Manager of High Performance and National Teams stated that “Tony led a field of very strong candidates and we are thrilled to have him join the NSP at an important and exciting period for the Australian men’s team.”
“Dodders” played 10 Tests and 24 ODIs for Australia, debuting in 1987 with 6/58 and a half-century in the Boxing Day Test against New Zealand. He also played 93 Sheffield Shield games for Victoria.
Post retirement as a player, Tony’s cricket administrative career has been outstanding. He was Head of Cricket at the Marylebone CC from 1999 for five years during the formative years of T20 Cricket in the UK. Tony returned to Australia as CEO of WACA and then took up the head role at Cricket Victoria where he set up the BBL and the development of The Junction Oval.
From a Taverners perspective, Tony becomes the third Victorian Taverner to become a national selector for the Australian cricket team behind Jim Higgs and Merv Hughes.
He also made an impressive playing return for us against the ACS Wandering XI in February this year with a 40* and 3 wickets.
We at Taverners wish Tony all the very best in his exciting new role.
