Australia to review Ashes performance

MELBOURNE, (Reuters) – Cricket Australia (CA) will  launch a review of the team’s performance and the governance of  the sport later this month after the 3-1 Ashes loss to England.

England held on to the coveted urn after handing out three  innings defeats to Australia in the five-test series victory  that concluded last month.

“The reviews will get underway once the terms of reference,  scope and timelines have been finalised by the independent  consultants to be engaged by the board,” CA chairman Jack Clarke  said in a statement yesterday.
“We intend to have the reviews completed by our annual  general meeting in October.

“We will confirm the names of review participants once the  scoping has been agreed and before they start discussions with  the wide range of stakeholders involved in the respective  issues.”
