He got this responsibility in May 2021. He successfully organized his visit to India amid the Corona pandemic and all related travel and other restrictions. Cricket Australia also got a lot of financial strength by hosting this series.
What did Greenberg say on his appointment?
On his appointment Greenberg said, ‘I am delighted to have the opportunity to play such an important role in Australian sport and to be involved in a sport I have loved since childhood. It is a very exciting time for cricket as the game is growing rapidly around the world and creating amazing opportunities. At the same time, some challenges are also emerging to keep Australian cricket at the pinnacle of the game.
Greenberg played as a top-order batsman for Sydney between 1987 and 1997. He also gained some solid experience in sports administration, including running the Mike Whitney School of Cricket while he attended the University of NSW for a sports science degree.
