But in a series of emails obtained by the Otago Daily Times, it appears there is a mood for change in the other five major associations.
A group led by former New Zealand cricketer John Parker has been agitating for change. The rest of the group had hoped to remain anonymous so the debate would stay focused on the issues rather than personalities.
But leaked emails have unmasked some of the other participants, including former players Mark Greatbatch, Glenn Turner, John Morrison and Ian Smith.
The group's agenda is to make sure the board honours promises to step down en masse and to get more former cricketers into key positions in the organisation. It is, effectively, a power play for control of New Zealand Cricket.
The emails also reveal just how orchestrated the campaign to undermine the leadership of NZC has been, with Parker outlining how the media campaign is tracking and bringing new members up to speed with progress.
In one revealing update, he informs the group how the lobbying of the major associations is going and provides a summary of their positions.
''All were concerned at what is happening at NZC level,'' Parker wrote.
''Otago were reasonably happy with things but understood things at NZC level could improve and were keen to have a look at our thoughts and in discussion agreed with many issues.''
Dykes confirmed he had had a discussion with Parker and said the email was an accurate account of their telephone conversation.
''He rang me to say they were looking at putting together some changes for the constitution, knowing that NZC had already initiated the move to revamp the constitution,'' Dykes said.
''He emailed me their thoughts on what changes were required, in their view. In principle, they were not that dissimilar to what we had discussed at our board level and were probably held in a fairly unified way by most of the associations.''
NZC has put a draft constitution out for consultation and will convene a special meeting in July to ratify it. Most parties agree there needs to be more cricketing nous on the board but Dykes warned there was still a need for a good balance of skills.
''Having knowledge of modern-day cricket is equally as important as having a very alert and acute legal brain and someone who understands finances and how foreign exchange movements can affect profitability.
''Our board's approach is you don't want ex-international cricketers just for the sake of having in international cricketers.''
The Parker group, to some extent, has used the sacking of Ross Taylor and the following public outrage as a plank for its campaign. By keeping it in the news, the group has been successful at chipping away at the creditability of NZC's leadership, which, by its own admission, accepts it handled the Taylor affair poorly.
Dykes was disappointed the issue kept popping up.
''I don't think there is anyone who would say the captaincy issue was handled perfectly. It clearly wasn't great. But it has become a crusade in its own right, which is a shame.
''I'd have to say I'm a little disappointed that that has been made so much of. I'm particularly sensitive to it because [Black Caps captain] Brendon McCullum and [Black Caps coach] Mike Hesson are two of ours. I think a lot of the criticism has been unfair and unjust. But I'm proud of both of them with the way they have tried to rise above it.''
One point Dykes wanted to stress was that he backed White and the direction in which he was taking New Zealand Cricket.
''I think he is a good, decisive leader and he has introduced a good number of initiatives since he has been on board to take NZC forward. And I think, commercially, he has been very good.''
