CRICKET Victoria’s presence in the Mallee Murray region is in doubt after its two Sunraysia-based staff members were made redundant.
Cricket manager Tom Huf and participation officer Natasha Anstee have both fallen victim to Cricket Victoria’s restructure in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They will finish work on Friday with Cricket Victoria yet to announce a new staffing structure.
In a statement earlier this month Cricket Victoria said its restructure came about due to the economic uncertainty created by the pandemic and its desire to “put Victorian cricket in a strong position to rebound” once the future becomes clearer.
“As is the case for organisations across all sectors, Cricket Victoria has had to make some difficult but prudent decisions to reduce its operating expenditure and ensure Cricket Victoria is well placed to support the Victorian cricket community as we emerge from this crisis,” the statement read.
“Therefore, the organisation has identified savings and reductions in programs and activity across the organisation which will sadly result in a number of job losses at the organisation.”
More to come.
