Southee, who represented the franchise in the IPL in 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons, steps into the role at KKR after his predecessor Bharat Arun joined Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and will work alongside head coach Abhishek Nayar, mentor Dwayne Bravo, and newly appointed assistant coach Shane Watson.
New Zealand’s legendary seam bowler Tim Southee is set to retire from Test cricket at his home ground, Seddon Park in Hamilton, against England this December. Southee, however, made himself available for the World Test Championship final at Lord's in June if New Zealand qualify.

New Zealand captain Tim Southee said that while an extra run would have been nice, it was a good end to the series.
