Gary Stead to step down as New Zealand head coach in white-ball cricket, to mull decision on Test role

New Zealand's head coach for the seventh year in running, Gary Stead, has decided to step down from the role in white-ball cricket after incessant travel and tours that come with international cricket after more than half a decade with the Black Caps. Under Stead, New Zealand had their golden period of white-ball cricket qualifying for the finals of all three events - the World Cup in 2019, the T20 World Cup in 2021 and recently the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the UAE.
