T20 World Cup: New Zealand head coach admits future uncertain after early exit

Afghanistan’s win over Papua New Guinea meant they sealed the second spot in Super Eight from Group C, thus ending New Zealand’s run in the tournament. The Black Caps, who were runners-up in the 2021 T20 World Cup, came into the 2024 edition on the back of no warm-up matches and suffering consecutive defeats to Afghanistan and West Indies. Gary Stead has been New Zealand’s head coach since 2018 and has a year left in his contract.
