Sean Morris, Chief Executive Officer
Sean Morris had six seasons at Hampshire in the 1990s before injury curtailed his cricket career. Following his retirement from professional cricket, he joined Dunlop Slazenger where he was responsible for establishing Slazenger as a leading UK cricket brand. Part of Slazenger's success came through the strong supplier relationships established with Indian cricket manufacturers. In January 2008 Sean was appointed as CEO of the Professional Cricketers Association (PCA) where he guided the PCA through possibly the most turbulent period in the game's history and amidst this backdrop he built bridges with all the major stakeholders in the game including the ECB, the MCC, the Counties, the ICC and the IPL. His involvement in the England team returning to India after the Mumbai attacks and his delivery of a window for England players to participate in the IPL demonstrates his close affinity with Indian cricket.
