Moles comes under fire

“New Zealand Cricket has confirmed Andy Moles’ position as Blackcaps coach. This confirmation comes in response to news reports speculating on Moles’ future as coach of the side,” NZC said in a statement, responding to reports that senior players want Moles to be sacked. NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan reaffirmed Moles as the coach and said he was preparing the side for forthcoming tour to the UAE.

“Following the Blackcaps’ return from Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy, we are undertaking a review of the team’s performance,” Vaughan said.

“This looks at all aspects of individual and collective performance with a view to continuous improvement.”
