Sir John Hansen (1957-62), supposedly retired, is busier than ever.

Sir John’s latest role is that of one of two new Directors of New Zealand Cricket, a position he takes on with former Dunedin sports broadcaster Bill Francis.

An internationally respected lawyer and judge, Sir John retired last year. In 2007 he served as the Chairman of the final appeals committee for the Rugby World Cup, and earlier this year was appointed to the New Zealand Rugby Union’s Appeal Council and the International Rugby Board’s Judicial Panel. He was appointed Code of Conduct Commissioner by the International Cricket Council in 2007.

Sir John has been president of the Willows Cricket Club in Christchurch since 2003. He was made a Distinguished Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit in 2008 and reinvested as KNZM earlier this year.

Also on the new cricket Board is former Otago businessman Stuart Heal, father of Matthew Heal (1992-96, Head Boy 1996) and Regan Heal (1993-97).
