In June 2020, he resigned from his position of CEO, after immense media scrutiny following his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] His decision to lay off 80 per cent of CA staff from 27 April 2020, was considered a key reason for his dismissal.[5] However former Australian cricketer Allan Border defended him by saying "Roberts is not alone responsible for the board's financial crisis".[6]
