Shane Jurgensen has confirmed to stay as the New Zealand bowling coach for another two years. This will be the extension of his second tenure with the side after re-joining in 2016. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jurgensen's new deal with New Zealand Cricket (NZC) will take him through to the end of 2022, by which time he will have been in charge of the bowlers for a total of nine years, including an earlier stint from 2008-2010.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 44-year-old said it was a straight forward decision to stay on as Black Caps bowling coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's a huge honour to continue my coaching journey with New Zealand Cricket," he said as per an NZC media release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We've had some amazing experiences as a team and I'm looking forward to working alongside Gary (Stead) and Kane (Williamson) as we prepare for an exciting summer," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former Queensland fast-bowler has built a strong coaching resume since finishing his playing career in 2007. During 2012 to 2015, he helped Bangladesh rise up the world rankings, which included a whitewash of the touring Black Caps side in 2013, while he's also coached the Fiji national side and consulted to Cricket Scotland at the World Cup 2015.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head coach Gary Stead said: "Shane's done an outstanding job with the bowlers over the past five years and you only have to look at their performances to see his impact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He obviously possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience, but I think it's his planning and work ethic that has helped get the best out of our top players consistently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"His influence also extends beyond the Black Caps with his knowledge and leadership helping shape the wider NZC pace-bowling system which is already reaping rewards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Shane's a terrific character to have on our team and we look forward to having his energy and passion around the group for another couple of years," he added.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Shane-Jurgensen.jpg", "alt_img": "Shane Jurgensen", "alt_title": "Shane Jurgensen", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Shane Jurgensen Set To Continue As The New Zealand Bowling Coach On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Shane Jurgensen has confirmed to stay\u00a0as the New Zealand bowling coach for another two years.
