Australia's bowling coach and former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori has revealed he didn't want to be the Black Caps head coach

Australia's bowling coach and former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori has revealed he didn't want to be the Black Caps head coach

29 September 2025

He'd reportedly been asked to throw his name in the hat to replace Gary Stead before Rob Walters took the helm.

Vettori says he had a few conversations regarding the job but ultimately it didn't suit his lifestyle or timeline.

The Black Caps face Australia in the first of three T20 matches at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Wednesday.
