Gary Stead steps down as New Zealand’s white-ball head coach
Gary Stead is set to step down from his position as New Zealand’s white-ball head coach. And he is considering his role in charge of the Test team. Stead, who has been at the helm since 2018, has brought tremendous success across all formats, leading the side to the finals of the 2019 ODI and 2021 T20 World Cups and last year’s Champions Trophy.
His leadership was pivotal during the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, where New Zealand reached the final and fought tooth and nail against England before finally losing in the Super Over. He also led New Zealand to victory in the World Test Championship in 2021.
Over the coming weeks, Stead will weigh his options regarding the leadership of New Zealand’s Test team.
"I'm looking forward to getting away from touring life for a while and having a think about my future," Stead said in a statement released by New Zealand Cricket.
"I now want to evaluate my options but still feel I have coaching left in me, albeit not as head coach across all formats.
"The next month will give me the opportunity to discuss the situation more with my wife, family and others.
"I'll be in a better position to know whether I want to reapply for the Test coaching position after this time of reflection."
