The Women’s T20 World Cup in March 2020 was a triumph,with more than 86,000 watching Australia beat India in the final at the MCG.
However,the men’s event scheduled for October was postponed until next year because of the pandemic.
Hockley beat a shortlist of candidates including former NRL and Football Australia CEO David Gallop.
The former London financier was favourite to take the position after a strong performance last summer ensuring the India tour went ahead and the BBL and WBBL were played in full despite the ever-changing restrictions across Australia’s states and territories.
