Career

Cutler initially pursued his career in marine insurance straightaway after finishing his high school education.[6] He moved to Hong Kong in 2013 after spending a brief period of time in marine insurance in Brisbane.[7]

Cutler was named as the first CEO of Hong Kong Cricket Association in 2014 but it took a long process before being appointed to the position in May 2015, tasked with making Hong Kong cricket a shining light among the associates and building bridges with the government as well as the International Cricket Council.[7][8][9][10][11][12] He served as CEO of Hong Kong Cricket Association from 2015 to 2017 and during his tenure Hong Kong T20 Blitz was launched.[13][14][15] He resigned from the position of Hong Cricket CEO in April 2017.[16][6]

In late 2018, Cutler formed a WhatsApp group chat with Daniel Beswick and Nick Skinner regarding to develop the sport of cricket to other parts of the world and launched the Emerging Cricket platform.[17]

In March 2021, he was appointed as the CEO of Vanuatu Cricket Association replacing Shane Deitz and he was expected to commence his term as CEO from mid-April 2021.[18][19][20]

In February 2024, Cutler was named in Vanuatu's squad for the 2024 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League Play-off in Malaysia.[21] He made his List A debut on 22 February 2024, against Bahrain.[22] He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against Tanzania on 5 March 2024, during the 2024 Malaysia Open T20 Championship.[23]
