Cricket: Fresh uproar over NZ captaincy upheaval
“Attacks such as this are divisive and unhelpful,” said White.
WELLINGTON:
Former New Zealand captain John Parker weighed into the debate about the controversial sacking of Ross Taylor as skipper yesterday with a scathing report about how the situation was handled. Parker is part of a group said to include several former captains who compiled a nine-page report on the affair, critical of New Zealand cricket chiefs, coach Mike Hesson and Brendon McCullum, who replaced Taylor as captain. Parker’s report calls for unresolved issues to be addressed despite repeated urging from New Zealand Cricket (NZC) chief executive David White that the matter be laid to rest. “Attacks such as this are divisive and unhelpful,” said White.
