Edgar, 56, will join head coach Mike Hesson to select teams for all formats of the game. " Bruce is highly respected within the cricket fraternity and he was a very successful player both on and off the field, " NZC chief executive David White said in a statement. " He is considered, methodical and logical with exceptionally good attention to detail. " A veteran of 39 tests and 64 one-dayers, Edgar said he was looking forward to working with Hesson ahead of the 2015 World Cup. " Players need to be given opportunities to bridge the gap between first class cricket and the international stage. I would like to see players given experience in the sub-continent and with local conditions in other countries, " said Edgar.
