One former Black Caps coach has expressed some confusion as Tim Southee relinquished his team captaincy. 

Tom Latham has taken the reins after Southee ended his tenure as skipper with six wins, six losses and two draws through just under two years at the helm.

Mike Hesson says some aspects of his resignation have raised a few questions.

"I can't think of any side in the world where you would name a captain on a game-by-game basis. You're playing for your nation - I thought the transition period made good sense, but when he was named captain, it sort of made life difficult for Tim."
