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]
