Former Black Caps coach David Trist, who led the side to Champions Trophy glory in 2000, has died aged 77.

New Zealand Cricket said it was "deeply saddened" to confirm his death.

"A former Canterbury and New Zealand pace bowler, David coached the Black Caps from 1999 to 2001, during which time they won the ICC Champions Trophy in Nairobi.

"NZC extends its heartfelt condolences to David’s family and friends."

He previously had success with Canterbury during his stint from 1989-1993, and overseas in South Africa, the Netherlands and Hong Kong.

He largely stayed out of the limelight after stepping down as NZ coach in 2001, but told Cricinfo in 2017 that "cricket has been very kind to me".

"I'm very grateful."
