Mike Hesson has been labelled the best coach and selector in New Zealand cricket history after adding three more years to his Black Caps contract.
Hesson and three key support staff have been retained through to the 2019 World Cup, signing long-term contracts.
Batting coach Craig McMillan, strength and conditioning coach Chris Donaldson and manager Mike Sandle have also been retained.
NZC chief executive David White says their retention is vital for the team's stability and succession planning.
He praised the emergence and potential of McMillan and described Sandle and Donaldson as leaders in their field but reserved special praise for 41-year-old Hesson, who was a relative unknown when he replaced John Wright in 2012.
"Mike's the most successful coach in New Zealand cricket history and, in my opinion, the best selector we've ever had," White said.
"To have him committed to the Black Caps until after the next world cup is great news for all concerned."
Hesson has helped lift the Black Caps' Test world ranking to fifth and guided them to a World Cup final and World Twenty20 semi-final in the last two years.
They are ranked No.1 for T20 cricket and second in the ODI table.
