Shane Bond interested to replace Damien Wright as NZ bowling coach

Former fast bowler Shane Bond New Zealand has expressed its readiness to assume the role of bowling coach with the national team after coach Damien Wright current tenure comes to an end after the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.

"I'm interested in the role, but I want to know more," Bond told Fairfax New Zealand News. "Not much more to say really, until I see a job description."

Former Australia coach and current director of Buchanan New Zealand Cricket (NZC) John seemed interested in giving the name of Bond serious thought.

"Let's go through the process of advertising," said Buchanan. "We realize that Damien Wright has to move on so let's go through that process, but obviously someone like Shane Bond gifts [same] as one of the candidates who are very interested in talking to."

"We are very disappointed to lose a quality coach Damien but fully understand his reasons for having to stay away from work," said Buchanan.

Bond, who took 87 wickets in 18 tests, the team works with NZC and Central Districts as bowling coach and has worked with the current players Doug Bracewell of New Zealand and Adam Milne.
