Gary Stead will step down as coach of the Black Caps’ white-ball teams, but will spend the next few weeks to decide if he will stay to lead the test team. 

New Zealand cricket’s Bryan Stronach has said the organisation hasn’t got a strong preference for either a split-coaching model or a sole appointment at the current moment.  

Ali Martin, cricket writer for The Guardian, joined Jason Pine to discuss the pros and cons of a split-coaching model, and whether it might be the right thing for the Black Caps. 

“I can see why they’re mulling this over,” Martin said. 

“In theory it should be possible having a single coach over the whole thing.”
