Gary Stead Signs On For 3 More Years As New Zealand Coach

New Zealand cricket coach Gary Stead said one of the things that made him want to stay on in the role until after the 2023 World Cup, to be held in India, was the depth of talent the country had developed across all three formats of the game.

Stead was reappointed to the job on Wednesday after initially signing a two-year contract when he succeeded Mike Hesson in 2018.

While New Zealand have made the last two one-day World Cup finals and are currently second in the test rankings, the nucleus of the side is getting older.
