New Zealand captain Ross Taylor on Wednesday expressed hope that his side gives outgoing coach John Wright an appropriate send-off in his final Test match with a win against the West Indies.
Wright is set to leave the New Zealand coaching job after the end of the tour of West Indies, and he will be replaced by Mike Hesson.
After losing the opening Test by nine wickets to the Caribbean side, Taylor expressed his side is determined to level the series for Wright.
"John's been a good servant of New Zealand cricket over the years, not only as a player but as a coach," Taylor said.
"I've learnt a lot off him and he's had a lot to do with a lot of these youngsters. They'll be up for a big game and hopefully we can give him a good send-off," he was quoted as saying by the New Zealand Herald.
