No desire to become New Zealand coach: Fleming | Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has ruled
himself out of contention to become coach of the Black Caps after the exit of Andy Moles. Fleming today made it clear that he harboured no ambition to succeed
Englishman Moles, who last week resigned one year into the job, after it emerged
the players held reservations about his technical and tactical abilities. "It
is not my interest to coach internationally. I am very happy with the business
side of things I am looking to set up and with my family life. I do not have the
time (for coaching) and I do not have the desire. The group of players there now
are too close to my (playing) era, and also my coaching ability is unproven,"
he told Radio Sport. The New Zealand team left on Wednesday without a coach for
Abu Dhabi in the Middle East, where they are to play three one-day internationals
and two Twenty20 matches against Pakistan. Skipper Daniel Vettori will undertake
many of the coaching responsibilities until New Zealand Cricket (NZC) names a
replacement for Moles, the New Zealand Herald reports. Fleming captained New Zealand
for a decade and played 111 tests and 247 one-day internationals before retiring
last year. He is busy establishing a business career in Wellington, as well as
coaching Chennai in the Twenty20 Indian Premier League. Fleming said he enjoyed
his role with Chennai but that required a time commitment of only seven weeks
a year. Former New Zealand coach Steve Rixon has signalled his interest in the
job, but NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan has said his organisation will not
rush a decision. |
