David Gilbert resigned on Monday after 11 years as the chief executive of New South Wales Cricket, following recent criticism of his performance in the role by veteran paceman Brett Lee.
Former Test fast bowler Gilbert, 52, said the time was right for him to step down and that his decision had not been influenced by the "recent commentary".
"After 11 successful years, I am now at the point where I am ready to take on a new challenge," Gilbert said in a statement.
"This is not a sudden decision -- it is something I have been contemplating over the past 12 months. As far as recent commentary is concerned, it comes with the job and I've never shied away from it.
