What Does The PCA Committee Do?

Headed by PCA Chair Olly Hannon-Dalby, and supported by elected Vice Chairs Anuj Dal and Heather Knight, player representatives from each professional squad of the 18 professional counties, as well as the England men’s and women’s squads make up the PCA Players’ Committee. This important group of players has the ability to vote on all issues affecting the whole of the PCA membership. Each representative is also the voice of the PCA in dressing rooms across the country.

Reps are responsible for communicating PCA topics of discussion to their fellow teammates in their dressing rooms and liaising back to the PCA as well as raising any concerns within their team environment. Being the voice in the dressing room, Reps actively promote the PCA aims and objectives to work as a collective to champion on the ongoing rights of professional players in England and Wales.

The Chair – Olly Hannon-Dalby

Olly Hannon-Dalby is the Chair of the Professional Cricketers’ Association, having been elected in February 2025 through a ballot of all PCA members and  he commenced a two-year term in March 2025 at the AGM.

Hannon-Dalby has a wealth of experience, being part of the PCA Players’ Committee as Warwickshire’s Representative for more than a decade. He assumed the Chair position from the outgoing James Harris who stepped down following the completion of his second two-year term. As Chair, Hannon-Dalby represents the collective voice of professional players in the country by sitting on the ECB Cricket Committee along with the PCA Chief Executive to make sure player views are well represented.

The Chair holds a position on the PCA Board and is also a Director of the Cricketers’ Trust, overseeing the overall direction of the Association and the charity. If you would like to pass on any thoughts to Olly, please email ohd@thepca.co.uk.
