The BLACKCAPS will be looking to fill a vacancy in their coaching staff at the conclusion of the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
BLACKCAPS bowling coach Shane Bond has indicated he will not seek to renew his existing contract, which runs until the end of the tournament.
NZC’s Head of Cricket Lindsay Crocker said his organisation had been anxious to retain Bond’s services and had offered him an extension.
“Make no bones about this - we’re very disappointed to be losing Shane,” said Mr Crocker.
“He’s given great value to the BLACKCAPS programme and we were hopeful of having the benefit of his input over the next few seasons.
“However, we respect his decision and his reasons for making that decision, and wish him well in his endeavours post-world cup.”
Mr Crocker said NZC would start advertising for the post-CWC 2015 vacancy immediately.
