Nenzani's term was due to end on 5 September, when CSA is scheduled to hold its annual general meeting and elect a new president.

He served two full three-year terms in the position, with the second being extended by 12 months to help CSA though the difficult period which has seen the governing body making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

CSA confirmed the resignation of Nenzani in a statement on Monday morning.

"Chris Nenzani has resigned as the President of the Members Council and the Chairman of the board of directors of Cricket South Africa (CSA) with effect from the 15th of August 2020.
