Harrison was appointed in October 2014, starting full-time the following January, and has been a controversial figure throughout his tenure.
He oversaw the introduction of the Hundred, which belatedly launched last summer, and while the £1.1 billion television rights deal he negotiated in 2017 has seen the ECB’s turnover grow significantly, their reserves have been depleted.
He has also had to deal with the racism crisis that has engulfed the English game over the last two years, regularly giving evidence to DCMS (Department of digital, culture, media and sport) select committees.
Harrison would be the latest man to leave a position of power at the ECB in recent months with the men’s team losing its managing director, head coach, assistant coach and captain over the winter and the role of chair still vacant following Ian Watmore’s departure in October.
