Former wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi has been appointed Black Caps batting coach.
The Dannevirke-born, Australian raised Ronchi replaces Peter Fulton who left the role in July.
Ronchi is no stranger to the Black Caps set-up, having joined the coaching staff for last year's World Cup.
The 39-year-old played the last of his ODIs for New Zealand in 2017, though he did play a T20I for a World XI against the West Indies a year later. That gave him the distinction of having represented three teams in a fully fledged international match - Australia, for whom he played three T20Is and four ODIs, New Zealand, where he played the bulk of his international career in white-ball cricket, and a World XI.
Ronchi did play four tests for New Zealand and might have considered himself unlucky not to play more, averaging close to 40 in eight innings, including a brilliant 88 on debut when New Zealand beat England at Leeds in 2015.
