Dr. Jacques Faul has resigned as acting CEO of Cricket South Africa, on the same day that the organisation revealed Chris Nenzani had stepped down as president over the weekend and COO Naasei Appiah had been fired. Faul, who was seconded from the Titans in December 2019, was due to return to his role with the franchise on September 15, but has opted to leave his post four weeks early.

Faul took over as acting CEO in the wake of Thabang Moroe's suspension from the post over allegations of misconduct. It was Faul's second stint in the role - he had earlier taken over following the suspension of Gerald Majola in March 2012, and had remained in the role until his resignation in July 2012.

Faul's 2019 appointment was part of an overhaul at the top level of South African cricket, with influential former players Graeme Smith and Mark Boucher brought in as director of cricket and head coach respectively.
