 Henry was appinted convenor of selectors in 2002 |
South Africa have demoted chief selector Omar Henry ahead of their home Test series against England, according to reports. He will remain part of a four-man selection panel, but will be replaced as convenor by Haroon Lorgat.
"I'm now 52 and I've got a fair appreciation of cricket politics.If I was 20 years younger, I might have reacted differently," said Henry.
South Africa's squad for the first Test is due to be named later on Tuesday.
The selection panel shake-up has taken place at the end of a tour to India which saw South Africa lose a two-Test series 1-0.
The team have endured a difficult year so far, winning only two out of nine Tests and five out of 18 one-day internationals.
"Our major concern has been the effective management of the selection process," said United Cricket Board chief executive Gerald Majola.
