Big Bash League boss Kim McConnie is reportedly departing Cricket Australia.

Following another disappointing season for the Twenty20 competition where average crowds and television viewership were on the decline, McConnie is on the way out after just two years at the helm.

A report on The Australian claims that McConnie will end her tenure at CA before the end of the month and has already accepted a job as Head of Sports Marketing at Foxtel.

There was increased fan criticism directed at the BBL this year with the extended season, and fewer big-name international talent, but there was a silver lining, with the the WBBL competiton showing promising growth.

McConnie's exit is the latest in a tumultuous year of change for CA, with the aftermath of the ball tampering scandal in South Africa leading to numerous personnel departures from the CA coaching ranks to the board.
