New Zealand coach Mike Hesson, whose contract was due to expire in April 2017 - has extended his contract until after 2019 World Cup, to be played in England and Wales from May-July 2019.
The 41-year-old will now be with the Black Caps after the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
He was appointed as head coach after replacing John Wright on 20 July, 2012 and has shown an outstanding success, guided New Zealand to finish runners-up in the 2015 World Cup that was held in Australia-New Zealand and as semi-finalists in the World T20.

"Mike's the most successful coach in New Zealand cricket history and, in my opinion, the best selector we've ever had," NZC chief executive David White said.
"To have him committed to the Black Caps until after the next World Cup is great news for all concerned."
Black Caps are currently ranked number one in T20s, ranked number two in ODIs and fifth in Test cricket.
New Zealand's next assignment will be in July-August when they travel to Africa to play two Tests each against South Africa and Zimbabwe.
