Jersey Cricket welcomes new CEO

Sunday 18 December 2022

Jersey Cricket has said it is "delighted" to welcome a new permanent CEO, after the unplanned departure of the previous Chief Executive earlier this year.

Sarah Gomersall, who currently serves Jersey Cricket in the capacity of a Non-Executive Director, is taking up the full-time Cricket CEO position after leaving her current role as Chief People Officer of professional services provider Equiom and will take up her new duties in February 2023.

Ms Gomersall succeeds Craig Meredith who stepped down over summer to pursue other interests.

John Harris, Chairman of Jersey Cricket, said: “All at Jersey Cricket are very pleased that Sarah has been successful in her candidacy for this vital role as the Executive Head of Jersey Cricket... Sarah brings great business experience as well as her existing detailed knowledge of Jersey Cricket to the role."

"We are delighted to welcome her as our new CEO and look forward to continuing success and progress for Jersey Cricket with her at the helm," he added.

Sarah Gomersall commented: “It is a huge honour to be joining Jersey Cricket at such a significant time for cricket on the island. I am looking forward to building new relationships with the clubs and other stakeholders, and to leading the delivery of our strategic plan in an inclusive and sustainable way.”
