New Zealand Cricket: Assistant coaches Luke Ronchi and Jacob Oram have been granted leave by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) to take up coaching roles with Islamabad United in the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, which begins later this month.

Ronchi, who represented the franchise from 2017 to 2021, will return as the head coach of Islamabad United, while Oram has been appointed as one of his assistants. With the PSL scheduled to start on March 26 and run until late April, including the finals, both coaches will miss New Zealand's upcoming series against South Africa as well as the tour of Bangladesh in April.

New Zealand performance manager Mike Sandle said the team management and NZC were supportive of the duo pursuing the coaching opportunity.
