A former New Zealand Test and ODI player, Larsen was the chief executive of Cricket Wellington, and the Cricket Operations Manager ahead of the 2015 World Cup, before being appointed BLACKCAPS selection manager in 2015.

In the subsequent years, the BLACKCAPS have played in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup Final and the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup Final; have won the inaugural ICC World Test Championship and have, at different times, been ranked as the world’s No.1 team in each of the three formats.

Larsen said he was extremely grateful to NZC :-

Larsen said he was extremely grateful to NZC for the opportunity to work alongside the BLACKCAPS two most successful coaches, first Mike Hesson, and then Gary Stead.

“The past seven and a half years have just flown by and I’ve relished and enjoyed every minute of it,” Larsen said.

“The discussions and deliberations have always been robust and challenging but my enduring memory will always be the quality of the people I’ve worked with – from high performance right through to the administration.

“The relationships with everyone: Major Association coaches, BLACKCAPS support staff, the players, and the team at NZC, have always been underpinned by a real sense of trust and goodwill.

“I’ve had the time of my life.”

Larsen said the new role at Edgbaston represented a new chapter in his career.
