Shane Jurgensen will remain in charge as New Zealand bowling coach until the end of 2022.

The contract extension makes him the longest-serving bowling coach for the Black Caps.

“It’s a huge honour to continue my coaching journey with New Zealand Cricket,” the former Queensland fast bowler said. “I love my job and feel lucky to have been involved with such a special group of players and support staff for the past five years.

“We’ve had some amazing experiences as a team and I’m looking forward to working alongside Gary [Stead, the head coach] and Kane [Williamson, the captain] as we prepare for an exciting summer. It’s a privilege to work with such a world-class bowling unit and I’m proud of the depth we’ve added to the group which has us well prepared for the variety of challenges ahead.”

Jurgensen has also coached Bangladesh for three years until 2015.
