Sydney: Chairman of selectors Rod Marsh has stepped down with immediate effect after a humiliating run of five heavy Test defeats, Cricket Australia said Wednesday.
The former wicketkeeping great, 69, quit amid recriminations about the poorly performing national team which crashed to a first-ever home series defeat to South Africa on Tuesday.
"This is my own decision and no one within Cricket Australia has pressured me or even suggested that I should do this," Marsh said in a statement.
