The CA has appointed Ian Burridge as its first International Performance Director. The role will be focused on AC initially and is expected to run until the 2017 MacRobertson Shield series at least. Congratulations to Ian!

Like the majority of CA roles, it is a volunteer activity and carries no remuneration. Ian will report to the Chairman of the Management Committee. The IPD will:

• be responsible for England's performance at International Singles and Team AC events
• create and manage a sustainable International Pathway to take talented beginners through to elite performers
• work with all parts of the CA necessary to ensure support of improved international performance.

The role is expected to influence recruitment strategies, the tournament programme, international matches, selection policy, and bursary funding, and complements the existing activities of the Coaching and other Council Committees.
