Former Australian white-ball all-rounder David Hussey has stepped down from his position as Victoria’s head of male cricket.
Hussey was appointed in September 2022 after numerous coaching roles and a decorated playing career.
He balanced the new role in Cricket Victoria’s administration with coaching Melbourne Stars before stepping away from that role in early 2023.
As a player, Hussey made 108 international appearances and finished his 192-match first-class career with a batting average of 52.50.
Hussey, coach Chris Rogers and general manager Graham Manou established the foundations for a promising period of Victorian Cricket.
Victoria has reached four domestic finals during Hussey’s tenure.
Since 2021, the Vics have had only two contracted players arrive from interstate: the returning Peter Siddle and one-day hit man Josh Brown.
The program has prioritised homegrown talent, with Ollie Peake, Todd Murphy, Campbell Kellaway and Fergus O’Neill among those rising through the ranks
Manou said Hussey’s impact in the role was “immeasurable”.
“David’s influence on the organisation and the broader Victorian cricket community is immeasurable,” Manou said.
“Through his passion for the game, commitment to excellence and investment in people, David has helped strengthen the foundations of our male high-performance program while leaving a lasting legacy across Victorian cricket.”
Hussey is poised to continue internally at Cricket Victoria in what the organisation described as “an exciting new global venture”.
