Chairman of the National Selection Panel Rod Marsh has resigned from his position effective immediately in the wake of Australia's disastrous start to the Test summer.

At this stage, no replacement for Marsh has been named, with the Cricket Australia Board set to hold an extraordinary meeting later this evening, where a decision on an interim appointment is expected to be reached.

Heads were always going to roll so to speak after the disastrous start to our summer.

Former chairman of selectors, Trevor Hohns has been appointed interim chairman.

Before rejoining the National Selection Panel in May 2014, Hohns had previously served as an Australian selector between 1993 and 2006, including a decade as the panel's chairman.

That stint came during a hugely successful period for Australian cricket. The Test team won a record 16 successive Test matches and claimed the 1999 and 2003 World Cups in a golden era.
