    Australia's bowling coach and former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori has revealed he didn't want to be the Black Caps head coach

    Australia's bowling coach and former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori has revealed he didn't want to be the Black Caps head coach


    He'd reportedly been asked to throw his name in the hat to replace Gary Stead before Rob Walters took the helm.

    Vettori says he had a few conversations regarding the job but ultimately it didn't suit his lifestyle or timeline.



    The Black Caps face Australia in the first of three T20 matches at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Wednesday.
