In October 2015, The Primary Club of Australia announced that Mark Taylor had accepted the role of Twelfth Man and Patron following the passing of their former Patron, Richie Benaud OBE. He also became Director of Cricket Australia, and commissioned a replacement cap for Benaud. Benaud died before he could receive it, so the cap was presented to his wife.
