Yes, but only when the team plays overseas, such as the upcoming limited overs tour of England.

I wonder if he was forced out.
Iād say unlikely if heās given 12 months notice. Probably move into something less stressful, heās still quite young.
So its just a coincidence that they are performing a culture review?
Doubt it, otherwise heād leave sooner and someone like Kevin Roberts would be Acting CEO.
Havenāt heard his reasons, but perhaps with his kids pushing for section in the national teams itās time to move on.
17 years is a long time to be in one position as well, who knows, maybe heās got something else lined up already that doesnāt open for a while.
I donāt think its a coincidence and the only reason for the 12 month notice is to distract media into a different view.

Actually itās his notice period, and theyāve been planning his exit over the last couple of years.
That might be true, but I canāt help think that āsandpaper gateā has accelerated his exit somewhat. He like everyone else had to take some responsibility for the ugly culture of the Australian cricket team.

Possibly, but media rights and pay dispute would have been in play before Warnerās brain fart.

This year has been a very turbulent for Australian Cricket with the ball-tampering incident that happened in the 3rd test between South Africa and Australia that led to Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft facing suspensions. David Warner has been banned from leadership group for life. However, Steve Smith and David Warner will play in Global t20 in Canada. The resignation of Darren Lehmann has caused the fallout of the controversy.
Today, James Sutherland has announced his resignation as CEO of Cricket Australia. Someone will replace him as the next CEO in 2019. I know that there has been a lot of changes happening to Cricket Australia.
Well heās overseen two disasters this year: the ball tampering and those woeful tv rights.
No balls, which is ironic. Shouldāve gone mid-Sandpaper-gate
He got the $$$$ they wanted for the cricket rights, but it came at a significant cost with local ODI and T20I games lost to free to air.
Afghanistan will play in Australia in the first time in history before Indiaās summer in 2020-21 season.
I also heard that South Africa will play in Melbourne and Sydney in Test Series in the 2022-23 Summer.
Australia will have no Test in Jan 2020 following the Sydney Test.
This is a big overhaul in Australia tours programme.

One of our bowlers conceded 100 runs in 9 overs, which really sums it up.
