NZ Cricket chief executive Scott Weenink has resigned following a disagreement with the organisation's board and the sport's key stakeholders.

Earlier this month RNZ reported Weenink was stood down from day-to-day duties at the national body amid an ongoing fight for his survival.

The report said he had gone on leave ahead of mediation with the NZ Cricket board over his future.

It is understood Paul Wicks KC is advising the board on the process ahead, including the possibility of negotiating an exit agreement with Weenink, the story said.
