Australia's head of selectors Rod Marsh will step down when his contract is up next year, Cricket Australia has announced.
Former Test wicket-keeper Marsh has been in charge since John Inverarity left the post in 2014.
But this winter's series against South Africa, Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be the last for Marsh, who previously served as a selector under Inverarity for three years.
"We can confirm that Rod Marsh has decided not to continue on in his role as national selector once his contract expires in June, 2017," a spokesman for Cricket Australia said.
"At this stage no decision has been made on a replacement."
Trevor Hohns, Mark Waugh and the Aussies' head coach Darren Lehmann are the other men currently on the selection panel.
Australia are currently on tour in South Africa, where Wednesday's defeat at Newlands condemned them to a 5-0 defeat in the ODI series.
