Head coach Daniel Vettori has left Birmingham Phoenix after four years at the club.

The ex-New Zealand spin bowler, 46, led Phoenix's men's team to a runners-up finish in 2021 and third place in 2024, though they finished fifth last summer.

James Thomas, Birmingham Phoenix performance director, said: "Dan's prior experience of working in franchise cricket has been invaluable during the formative years of the Birmingham Phoenix and he leaves us in a great position to grow and progress in the years to come."

Vettori added: "I have loved every minute of working with the Birmingham Phoenix and will look back on my time at Edgbaston with nothing but fondness."
