Watmore, who faced criticism for his decision to cancel a tour of Pakistan, resigned after just more than a year in the role.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Thursday that chairman Ian Watmore was stepping down with immediate effect, following criticism of the decision to cancel a tour of Pakistan.
Watmore, 63, has reached a “mutual agreement” with the board to leave his role following the end of the domestic season after a little more than a year in the role. The ECB position is normally held for a five-year term.
He had faced criticism following his decision to scrap the Pakistan trip, involving England’s men’s and women’s teams.
