After cricket
Craig retired from first-class cricket at just 26 years of age in 1962, but continued playing for Mosman in Sydney grade cricket on weekends until 1969. His marriage to Rosslyn Carroll in 1962 and his pharmaceutical career prevented him from applying himself fully to cricket. Upon first being appointed in 1968 to replace Stan McCabe, Craig was the youngest ever trustee of the SCG. Craig retired as the managing director of Boots' Australian subsidiaries.
