He played 66 Tests for South Africa, 52 One-Day International (ODI) and a Twenty20 between 2002 and 2011.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Abrahams, who has been tipped to keep his job, appeared in just a single ODI while Manack and Zondi featured in first-class cricket -- all are likely to keep their positions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Hudson is, therefore, expected to be the only casualty of the current panel, and there are conflicting reasons believed to be behind his departure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;Andrew has been there a long time and he is speaking about the time he needs for his job and his young family. It seems the time is right for change,&quot; ESPNcricinfo quoted an CSA insider as saying on Tuesday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Another believed that the current convenor may be pushed out as part of the ongoing agenda towards aggressive transformation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;They need someone who is a little more active in transformation and he isn&#39;t driving that.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">CSA recently reaffirmed a commitment to transformation with increased quotas at the domestic level. Franchise teams will be required to field at least six players of colour, of which three must be black Africans, but there remains no official quota at international level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
