New Zealand name Phillips' replacement for Zimbabwe Test
'Glenn's injury provided a gap in the Test squad and Michael is the closest like-for-like replacement,' head coach Rob Walter said in a statement from New Zealand Cricket. 'Michael's experience and skillset will be a great asset and allows us to keep the same balance of the team. "Given he's here with the T20 squad and his availability aligned for the first Test, we're using the opportunity to include him in the squad. "We'll get through the first Test and then we'll make a decision whether we'll replace him for the second Test.' Currently featuring in a T20I tri-nation series that also includes South Africa, Zimbabwe and New Zealand will lock horns in a two-Test series in Bulawayo starting July 28.

New coach says Williamson still wants to play for New Zealand
New Black Caps coach Rob Walter says Kane Williamson still wants to represent New Zealand in international cricket despite opting out of the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. The 34-year-old master batsman turned down a central contract with New Zealand Cricket for this season, enabling him to pick and choose his availability and take up lucrative contracts in franchise cricket. So instead of playing two Tests in Bulawayo in late July and August, Williamson will be captaining London Spirit in The Hundred in England. "Myself and Kane have had a nice conversation, a long conversation," South African Walter told the New Zealand Herald. "It was really great to catch up with him and discuss cricket. It was great to get his lens on New Zealand cricket and the Black Caps. He's been so influential in their success over the years. "But then also to discuss what the future might look like. I've said it repeatedly, he's still very committed to the Black Caps, and wants to play international cricket. I don't think it'll be too long until we see that." After Zimbabwe, New Zealand play a Twenty20 series against Australia and two limited overs series against England in October before hosting West Indies in all formats at the end of the year. Williamson stood down as New Zealand's white-ball captain after the Black Caps exited the T20 World Cup last June but played in the Champions Trophy this year. Exactly what his involvement would be in the short-format game going forward would be a decision for Williamson and he would be welcomed with open arms, Walter said. "Quality players stay quality players, and they just work at finding a method to be successful in all formats," he added. "He's a generational talent, I've got no doubt he'd find a way. He's probably jostling with what that actually looks like for him personally. But as I said, quality players find a way."

Stead stands down as New Zealand coach after seven years
Gary Stead will stand down as Black Caps coach at the end of June, New Zealand Cricket said on Wednesday, bringing to an end a highly successful seven-year reign that included the capture of the inaugural World Test Championship title. The 53-year-old stood down as coach of the country's white ball teams in April and his desire to spend less time on tour ultimately did not marry with NZC's aspiration to have one coach across all formats. "There's been some amazing memories over the past seven years based around a group of fantastic and talented people who have gone out to give their best for their country," he said in a NZC statement. "It's been nice to be competitive across all three formats and I'd like to think that regardless of results, the opposition know the Black Caps are a team that won't fold." Stead said the World Test Championship triumph in 2021 and New Zealand's 3-0 sweep of India on the sub-continent last year were the highlights of his time in charge. New Zealand also finished as runners-up on boundary countback at the 2019 50-overs World Cup, runners-up at the 2021 Twenty20 World Cup as well as at the Champions Trophy earlier this year. The Black Caps topped the test and ODI rankings and reached the semi-finals at two other white-ball World Cups during his time in charge. "For a country with five million people and limited resources, we comparatively perform outstandingly well against the other powerhouses of the game," Stead added. Producing consistent performances over such a lengthy period rested in some part on Stead's ability to refresh the squad with young players as generational talents retired or spent lengthy periods on the sidelines with injury. Former Black Caps captain Kane Williamson said Stead is likely to be remembered as one of New Zealand's most successful cricket coaches. "There was no one more hardworking and passionate about seeing the Black Caps grow and succeed," he said. "He was always thorough in his planning and preparation and will go down as one of our best coaches, but an even better bloke." NZC have already started the search for the successor to the former top-order test batsman and Stead said he would take some time to recharge before seeking out another challenge. "I still have the coaching bug and will look to explore opportunities at home and abroad where I can look to share what I've learned from my 30 years of professional sport as a player and coach," he said.
