Kim Littlejohn confident his chief advisors - the main Coaches Association - will be enough aim to make New Zealand new selection system work. Littlejohn began his new role as national team boss this week after moving to Melbourne, where he was the director of high performance with bowls in Australia.
His appointment was part of a radically new direction in New Zealand under the director of cricket, John Buchanan, who wanted a professional selection process. With the new system, the Little John and coach John Wright, constitute a jury of two men, with the choice of a merger of Wright's final match XI.
Littlejohn will be limited in the amount of cricket that will be able to see live, but a key element of the system is taking the reactions of six principal Coaches Association. And while provincial players on one side gives the black hat, the better the coach will see, Littlejohn has dismissed the concerns just grow their own men.
"I have great confidence [work]," said Littlejohn. "In some cases, it is obvious to expect that the main association of coaches to their players before, but I think there are some checks and balances in the system in which there is a unique car that seeking the views of the six coaches on player in particular. This will ensure you get a good and honest opinion on any particular player that can be treated. "
Buchanan said that the rationalization of the selection process should be more communication and feedback, which sometimes was not traditional juries. The changes have also continued to make the approach more accountable to the coach - which is to Wright as an important role in the selection of the team and coaches are involved in the province.
"From a standpoint of selection, three or four, sometimes five voters who are involved in and around a cricket team, and I think it gives more than one occasion, misunderstandings and poor response players and coaches, "said Buchanan. "The key people who understand where everyone is on the cricket athletes, our coaches, so they are strong enough."
However, Littlejohn said he would aim to find a "reasonable amount" of domestic cricket this summer. He spent his first day on the job in training camp in New Zealand in Christchurch, which helped her become familiar with the team.
"It gave me the opportunity to meet players and put faces to names," he said. "My understanding of the players is somewhat limited, as it has been what I've seen in Australia on television and read in the press, but I made a lot of research over the past week to catch up."
