Codrington quits as Middlesex chief exec

LONDON: Middlesex have announced that chief executive Vinny Codrington has resigned from the position with immediate effect. Codrington has been the club’s chief executive since 1997, making him one of the longest-serving administrators in the game.
Recent weeks have seen Middlesex caught up in a scheme to sell on Ashes tickets for Lord’s set up by former players Chris Rogers and Tom Scollay. Rogers, the Australia opener, had planned to use tickets granted to him by Middlesex as part of hospitality packages for the second Ashes Test, contrary to the regulations.
Codrington denied that the episode was a motivation in him stepping down halfway through the season, however.
