New Zealand has appointed Sam Wells as their new selection manager ahead of the Cricket World Cup.

Former Otago allrounder Sam Wells has been appointed as New Zealand's selection manager, taking over from Gavin Larsen ahead of the start of the upcoming domestic season. 

Gavin Larsen stepped down from the position after seven years in March to become performance director at English county club Warwickshire.

Sam Wells, who has also been a selector for Otago, will work alongside head coach Gary Stead, who is also New Zealand's chief selector.

Wells played 61 first-class and 43 List-A games for Otago as well as two first-class matches for New Zealand A, in a career that started in 2007-08 and ended in 2016-17.

He was even called up to the Test squad in January 2012, though he didn't get the chance to make his international debut. 

After his playing career ended, Wells was a selector for Otago A, before taking over as convenor of selectors for Otago during the 2022-23 domestic season - all this while continuing to practice law in Dunedin.
