Sutherland says he will stay on

James Sutherland has said that he will not step down as Cricket Australia's chief executive in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal that has already resulted in bans for Steven Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft and the resignation of the coach Darren Lehmann.
"I'm absolutely committed to my job, my employment and tenure is a matter for the board of Cricket Australia but I'm not resigning, in fact what has happened over the last few days has only strengthened my resolve to ensure that Australian cricket and the Australian cricket team gets back on track, and back in a place where it has not only the full respect but the pride of the Australian community," Sutherland said in Johannesburg shortly after Lehmann had made his announcement.
"It's been a difficult week, but most difficult for those three players who have returned to Australia. They are obviously in a very difficult and sad place, and between CA and the ACA, we will offer all of those players all the support we can, all the welfare services within and outside our system. We will make sure we support the players and their families as best we can."
