Henderson announced that he would be retiring from first class cricket at the end of the 2013 season at the age of 41. He plans to return to South Africa, where he will become a television pundit and coach.[3] His last game turned out to be the County Championship match at the end of April 2013 against Gloucestershire, where his final victim was Benny Howell.
International cricket
Henderson had to wait until 2001 to make his international debut after Nicky Boje needed surgery. He was selected to make his test debut against neighbours Zimbabwe in Harare. Following the retirement of Boje from the South African test side, Henderson was approached to replace him for the home series against India.[4] Henderson rejected the approach because of his contract with Leicestershire, only willing to play for South Africa if he was given a contract with the South African cricket board.
Coaching career
On 5 October 2021, Henderson was announced as director of cricket at Leicestershire County Cricket Club.[5]
