Gary Stead, New Zealand's most successful cricket coach, is stepping down as the Black Caps' white-ball mentor, and could yet walk away from the Test side.
Stead has led the men's national sides since 2018, overseeing the groundbreaking 2021 Test Championship victory.
The 53-year-old has opted to shed the short formats and take some time to reconsider whether he wants to keep coaching the Kiwis at Test level.
