Middlesex dismiss chief executive Andrew Cornish after Cricket Regulator investigation

Middlesex have dismissed chief executive Andrew Cornish after he was charged with misconduct by the Regulator. The Regulator has not yet published its findings.

Andrew Cornish, who served as Middlesex’s chief executive, has been removed from his role in the wake of allegations that led to formal charges from the Cricket Regulator. The charges relate to misconduct as described by the Regulator, and no public determination from that body has been released. The club’s decision followed the charge, though specific procedural details cited by either party have not been made available in the public domain.

The Regulator’s action — bringing a charge of misconduct against Cornish — is the central development that preceded the termination of his tenure at Middlesex. While the precise grounds underlying the charge were not detailed in the material released, the fact of the charge and the absence of an announced outcome from the Regulator are clear. The timing and mechanics of the Regulator’s inquiry have not been outlined beyond the formal charge.

Middlesex’s leadership change removes Cornish from the chief executive post with immediate effect. The club now faces the administrative task of filling the executive vacancy left by his departure. No additional information about interim arrangements or a search for a successor was provided in the available reports.

The Regulator remains the only external body publicly identified as having taken formal action in this matter. Its decision to charge Cornish constitutes an official step in whatever procedures it is conducting. At present, the Regulator’s findings remain unpublished and the outcomes of any subsequent steps are not available.

Media coverage to date has concentrated on the sequence of events: a charge of misconduct by the Regulator followed by Middlesex removing Andrew Cornish from the chief executive role. Beyond those points, documentation made public so far has been limited to the notification that Cornwall was charged and that the Regulator has yet to announce its findings.

The Regulator’s eventual statement will determine whether any additional facts are disclosed about the charge and lead to further action. Until the Regulator publishes its findings, the circumstances remain those formally reported: Cornish was charged with misconduct by the Regulator and has been dismissed by Middlesex.
