New Zealand Cricket has accepted the resignation of Dave Currie following a two-year tenure in the position of BLACKCAPS team manager.
Currie joined in February 2009 with his contract running through to the start of 2012 with a mutual agreement made for Currie to finish after the ICC Cricket World Cup.
New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan said: “Dave has been a dedicated servant of New Zealand Cricket during his period as BLACKCAPS Manager and has performed well in what can be a challenging logistics and support role.
”It is fitting that Dave should finish with the BLACKCAPS in the sub-continent where he has spent so much time as team manager. It is widely acknowledged as a difficult place to tour and requires skills of a top-quality administrator not to mention a steady temperament and Dave has proved to have both.
“We commend him for his integrity and the professionalism he has shown under difficult circumstances and wish him well in the future.”
Currie who just returned from the ICC Cricket World Cup said his two-year stint had been an excellent one.
"It has been an honour to manage the BLACKCAPS and am proud to have worked with Daniel Vettori and the team over the past two years,” said Currie.
“They is plenty of talent in the group and it was tremendous to be part of the World Cup campaign. I am sure they will go from strength to strength in the future. I wish them well.”
New Zealand Cricket will announce a replacement in due course.
