New Zealand coach Mike Hesson announced yesterday he was quitting, a year out from the World Cup, citing family reasons. During his six-year tenure, Hesson — described by former captain Brendon McCullum as "the best coach the Blackcaps have ever had" — guided the team to new heights across all three formats.


Although he had a year left on his contract, Hesson said he no longer felt fully committed to the role and his resignation would take effect at the end of next month.
