Luke Ronchi to step down as New Zealand batting coach post-India series
New Zealand's batting coach, Luke Ronchi, is set to depart his role following the team's series against India in early December. He has accepted a head coaching position with the Melbourne Renegades in Australia.
Ronchi's departure marks the end of a six-year stint with the Black Caps, during which he has been credited with significant contributions to the team's batting lineup. His tenure has been described as successful, with the team achieving notable results under his guidance.
The former international cricketer will transition to his new responsibilities with the Melbourne Renegades franchise shortly after concluding his commitments with New Zealand. This move signals a new chapter in his coaching career, taking on a leadership role within the Australian domestic T20 competition.
His final series with the national team will be against India, a challenging assignment that will serve as his swansong before embarking on his new venture Down Under.
This is a significant coup for the Melbourne Renegades, securing a proven coach with recent international experience. Ronchi's departure will undeniably be felt by the Black Caps.
