Gary Stead will remain New Zealand head coach in all formats through to the end of the World Test Championship cycle in 2025, the country's cricket board said on Tuesday.
"With most of our leading Black Caps playing across all three formats, and the culture of the group so strong and positive, we saw clear benefits in supporting the status quo," NZC's high performance chief Bryan Stronach said in a statement announcing Stead's contract extension. "We're not a big country ... Our pool of players is a little bit smaller perhaps than other countries around the world," he told reporters.He will instead continue to be supported by short-term consultant coaches for individual tours who bring specialist skills or knowledge of formats and conditions overseas.He will also have the flexibility to opt out of certain tour commitments and have other staff step in.
"I'm certainly open to new coaches coming in. I don't have to be the head guy, the front guy all the time."
