Faul still had just under a month left on this contract as the interim boss of the sports’ governing body.

He was appointed in the position in December 2019 when CEO, Thabang Moroe, was suspended.

The latest development has plunged CSA into further uncertainty after Chris Nenzani resigned as the president on Friday.

CSA confirmed the resignation of Faul via a short statement.

“The Board of Cricket South Africa (CSA) notes that following the resignation of the President of the Board of Cricket South Africa, the Members' Council has announced that Beresford Williams will fill the role of acting President until the AGM set for the 5th of September 2020. 

“Further, the Board advises that Acting CEO, Dr. Jacques Faul, has decided to end his secondment with immediate effect, which secondment was due to terminate on the 15 of September 2020. 

“Dr. Faul has put in place a detailed transitional plan that will ensure the organisation makes a seamless transition to a new Acting CEO that the Board will advise on shortly. 

“The Board is forever grateful for the outstanding commitment and leadership that Dr. Faul has made and continues to make to CSA and the game of cricket.”

It is furthermore believed that Moroe will be axed during the course of the week after the forensic investigation by Fundudzi Forensic Auditors implicated the embattled CEO on eight counts.
