Proteas head coach Shukri Conrad has confirmed that veteran opener Reeza Hendricks has fallen out of favour in the national T20I setup, with several batters now ahead of him in the selection hierarchy.
The Proteas will have to wait until Saturday to have another attempt at beating the Black Caps, when the two sides meet in the T20 tri-series final in Harare.
Reeza Hendricks has expressed his support for Shukri Conrad to be appointed as Proteas head coach across all formats, describing the potential appointment as a positive step for the national team.
