Former Australian Test player Tony Dodemaide has been announced as the final member of the selection panel for the men's national team.
Dodemaide will work alongside chair George Bailey and head coach Justin Langer, beginning with selecting the squad for this summer's Ashes series.
The 58-year-old Victorian has held a number of administrative positions since retiring from the game, including head of cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club, CEO of Cricket Victoria and CEO of the Western Australia Cricket Association.
He is currently general manager of Hockey One - a revamped national hockey competition.
Cricket Australia executive Ben Oliver said Dodemaide was an "ideal fit" for the position.
"Tony led a field of very strong candidates and we are thrilled to have him join the NSP at an important and exciting period for the Australian men’s team," Oliver said.
"He is an ideal fit for the selector role at this time and brings skills and experience that will complement George and Justin while adding value to the team and high performance area more broadly."
Dodemaide joins the selection panel following Bailey's promotion in the wake of former chair Trevor Hohns' retirement in August.
The former bowling all-rounder said he was excited by the opportunity.
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a contribution not only in the immediate tournaments and series but also to help chart the medium to longer term course of the Australian men’s teams," Dodemaide said.
"I can’t wait to offer my experience in cricket as a player and in management to assist George (Bailey) and JL (Langer) but also the wider Australian cricket high performance network.
"Throughout my cricket journey I have often been close to high performance and selection, so I feel well suited to and prepared for this role.”
"Like any system, high performance sport, including list management and selection, is always evolving. I believe cricket can tap further into other sports and be a world leader in these areas."
Dodemaide will start in the role next month following the conclusion of his duties with Hockey One.
