Richard Kenyon to lead review of Lancashire cricket operations

Incoming chief executive Richard Kenyon will lead a review of Lancashire's cricket operation and performance structure. Kenyon spent more than a decade at Everton and will officially take over from Daniel Gidney on October 5 after a 10-month spell as Nottinghamshire chief executive. The review will build on last week's restructure which confirmed the departure of director of cricket performance Mark Chilton and director of women's cricket David Thorley. It will assess Lancashire's performance environment, including staff and player contracts, resources, and the pathway from academy to first team. Lancashire finished second-bottom of Division Two in the County Championship, bottom of the T20 Blast table, and failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the One-Day Cup. Club chairperson Dame Sarah Storey said Kenyon's arrival comes at an important moment for the club.
