The England and Wales Cricket Board have confirmed managing director of cricket Hugh Morris' resignation.
Morris, who was appointed in the wake of 2007's five-nil defeat in Australia, has since overseen three consecutive Ashes series wins.
The 49-year-old Morris will become Glamorgan's chief executive and director of cricket later this year.
"I am very grateful to the committee of Glamorgan for providing me with this opportunity and a new and exciting challenge at this stage of my career. I am grateful to the ECB and England cricket for their support in the last 16 years," said Morris.
"I really enjoyed my time as a player with Glamorgan and now my task, which I will take on with relish, is to work with everyone at the club to increase our talent pool – particularly from Wales."
