New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has today paid tribute to former NZC Chief Executive Christopher Doig CNZM OBE, whose death was announced earlier today.
NZC Chief Executive Justin Vaughan said the thoughts of all who knew and worked with Chris were with his family at this sad time.
“On behalf of the family of cricket I would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Chris Doig.
“It was an honour and a privilege to have known Chris. He was a great servant of New Zealand Cricket and an insightful and astute administrator.
“He will be fondly remembered for his contributions not only to cricket but his service to other sports, the arts and the community.”
Chris was NZC CEO from 1995 to 2001 following a 25 year career as a professional singer. During his time as CEO he was responsible for a number of significant changes that invigorated the game of cricket in New Zealand.
