Gary Stead became New Zealand's head coach in 2018 following Mike Hesson’s resignation. His contract was extended twice—in 2020 and 2023—and is set to expire in June. Stead led New Zealand to victory in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) and oversaw a 3-0 Test series clean sweep in India.
"I'm looking forward to getting away from touring life for a while and having a think about my future," Stead said.

The 53-year-old said that he will take some time to decide whether he wants to continue as New Zealand's Test coach. Stead mentioned that he will have conversations with his wife, family, and close contacts to help make that decision.
Stead has shared coaching responsibilities across formats in recent years. Assistant coach Luke Ronchi led several white-ball series, allowing Stead to take occasional breaks from the demanding international schedule.
