New Zealand Cricket said it would advertise from next week and is yet to decide whether it will appoint different coaches to different formats. Stead guided NZ to the finals of the 2019 ICC World Cup, the 2022 T20 World Cup and this year's Champions Trophy. He also led NZ to victory in the inaugural World Test Championship.

"Gary's results have been very impressive over a long period and we're very comfortable giving him some time to collect his thoughts," NZC high performance officer Bryan Stronach said in a statement.
