WELLINGTON: Disgruntled former captain Ross Taylor has slammed New Zealand’s team management, dismissing head coach Mike Hesson’s advice as “laughable” and claiming he was not given enough support in his 18-month stint as skipper.
Taylor was stripped of the Twenty20 and one-day captaincy last week on Hesson’s recommendation. He rejected an offer to stay on as Test skipper in the wake of New Zealand’s drawn Test series away to Sri Lanka. “I knew it’d be tough from the outset (with Hesson),” Taylor said in comments published on the New Zealand Herald’s website on Sunday. “I gave him as much support as I could but it wasn’t reciprocated. He wrote down a few things for me to improve on, which were laughable, frankly.” Hesson, a career coach with no experience as a player at senior level, was appointed in July.
