More change in New Zealand as Black Caps selector departs

During his tenure Wells saw New Zealand register a historic 3-0 Test triumph over India away from home and reach the final of the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, but the 41-year-old has decided to stand down from his position to concentrate on his own work commitments.

“Serving as selection manager for the Black Caps over the past two years has been a tremendous privilege,” Wells said.

“I’m deeply grateful to NZC for the opportunity to contribute to the national side.

“It’s been an honour to work alongside the dedicated coaches, talented players, and committed support staff around New Zealand.

“While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in the role, I’ve made the difficult decision to step down in order to prioritise my personal and professional commitments outside of cricket.

“I remain a proud supporter of the Black Caps and will continue to cheer the team on as they build toward future success.”
