Stephen Fleming has announced he will stand down as the BLACKCAPS One-Day captain.
Fleming made the announcement in the post-match press conference following the team’s ICC World Cup semi-final defeat to Sri Lanka in Jamaica.
He confirmed he was available to captain the Test team and to continue playing at all levels.
He said: "That's my last game as one-day captain, I want to carry on playing and will remain Test captain.
"But I'm standing down as captain of the one-day team."
The 34-year-old left-hander skippered the side a world-record 218 times, first assuming the limited-overs role in 1996.
He added: "I have been contemplating this decision for some time having discussed it at length with my family, coach John Bracewell and BLACKCAPS manager Lindsay Crocker.
"Today's result had no bearing on my decision. I just wanted to wait until the end of the tournament so it did not become a distraction.
"It also feels like a good time for the One-Day side to have a change of leadership. We are now starting a new four-year cycle.
"On the Test front, I still believe I have much to offer and I am keen to be involved."
