Justin Vaughan talked about the need to spend more time with his family as the main reason for his decision to resign as CEO of cricket in New Zealand. Vaughan, 44, claimed that it was all his own decision to end in late November, after spending four years his position after being replaced by Martin Snedden in 2007.

Snedden could be one of the runners before taking the position for the second time since his role as team leader Rugby World Cup 2011, the organization will soon be redundant. Vaughan said he made his decision based on his family, and also to allow plenty of time CEO role again in the upcoming World Cup 2015 which will be co-organized by the Australia and New Zealand.

"This is something that I was aware of the recent months, about the remaining needs for my family and business requirements," said Vaughan. "I spent much time abroad recently, and I think that every time I go away, it was eating away at me that I really need to spend time with my children grow.

"So from an organizational perspective, including the World Cup 2015 hosting is so important, I believe a new CEO needs a year or two under their belt to maximize their potential. Adds All these pieces were made me feel better that I make the decision sooner rather than later. "

Vaughan output reaches the end of a period of significant change for New Zealand cricket. In the past 12 months have appointed a new coach, John Wright, a new captain, Ross Taylor, a new bowling coach, Damien Wright and a new Black Caps team manager, Mike Sandle.

But the biggest changes were in the structure of high-performance program itself. John Buchanan is installed in the newly created position of director of cricket, and one of his moves was to change the composition of the selection committee.

Australia's little known, Kim Little John is the manager selection and select national team with head coach, Mr. Wright. Vaughan will take a decision stability away from the organization operates, but he said he was convinced that NZC were on track and that he needed to spend more time with her three children ages 13, 11 and seven years.

"I feel now that the key people in place now for a while and eventually I just felt that my family was important, and I could not continue to do the job properly, which requires a lot of international travel and commit to the time, I think my family needs now, "he said." I made my decision on that basis.

"It is entirely my own initiative, to 100%. I am aware that there was a change and, indeed, a good part of me would love to be and see the fruits of what has been sown, because I think there is tremendous potential for New Zealand Cricket and foundations were established. But my personal situation and my desire to spend more time at home really overloaded the part of me that I would stay and be involved. "

Vaughan said his biggest regret, that he would not have been part of the organization of the World Cup 2015, which he said presented a great opportunity for cricket in the country. However, he said he was pleased with the development of NZC had done in its time equivalent, which belonged to the organization's revenues increase by 60%.

"If you look back over the last four or five years, we have made great strides," he said. "We have an international program, which is very good, the new FTP with frequent concerts in England and India. We also have a great partnership agreement, we are following the players association for eight years.

"I think we have the structures and people in place around our elite cricket ground with John Buchanan as director of cricket, John Wright as coach of the Black Caps. There are new opportunities, areas such as United States, we have to build.

"But I think in terms of the future, focus on those opportunities, but also to fully exploit the World Cup in 2015, which is a once-in-a-lifetime event. It 'a great cricket in this country a lot of ways. We see that at this time with the Cricket Rugby. is that the possibility of three and a bit '. We must be fully prepared and ready to take advantage of it. "

NZC start looking for a replacement immediately. NZC's president, Chris Moller said Vaughan would be lost at both national and global levels. "I know that Justin is very popular among his international colleagues," said Moller, "and was very effective and influential in his work with the director general of the International Criminal Court and cricket throughout the world."
