Swann, 47, made the decision to step away owing to competing demands on his time with his media and coaching commitments forcing frequent travel and periods of intense working.

Swann said: “This wasn’t an easy decision to make, but it’s one I feel I have to as my schedule has become particularly pressing.

“I hold Nottinghamshire in extremely high regard and it’s been an honour to serve on the General Committee.”

Nottinghamshire CCC Chairman, Andy Hunt, said: “Graeme is quite simply one of the best players, characters and ambassadors to have represented our club and our country and his contribution to Nottinghamshire is significant.

“We’re obviously disappointed to lose someone of Graeme’s calibre, but we respect his choice and wish him the very best for the future.

“He will forever be a friend of the club, for his commitment and exploits both on and off the field over a number of years, and he will always be welcome at Trent Bridge.”
