Kevin Roberts (born 25 July 1972) is an Australian cricketer.[1] He played 23 first-class and 18 List A matches for New South Wales between 1994/95 and 1997/98.[2] In October 2018, he was named as the CEO of Cricket Australia, replacing James Sutherland.[3]

In June 2020, he resigned from his position of CEO, after immense media scrutiny following his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] His decision to lay off 80 per cent of CA staff from 27 April 2020, was considered a key reason for his dismissal.[5] However former Australian cricketer Allan Border defended him by saying "Roberts is not alone responsible for the board's financial crisis".[6]
