Geoff Longley writes in the Press that New Zealand should give John Wright a trial run as coach during the upcoming home series against Pakistan.
There has been a lot of tip-toeing around the issue of whether Wright wants to be involved. Has he expressed official interest and does he want the arduous grind of overseas travel again?
But there is no formal coach at present, and having Wright involved – he is on the NZC staff payroll after all – would be a good way of testing the waters for the players and the prospective coach. This way, Wright could get a feel for the team and the environment and see if they could work together on a longer-term basis, and vice versa.
