Wairarapa cricket development officer Sam Curtis will have plenty more to think about come the 2012-13 season.
He has been appointed coach of the senior men's representative side, replacing Mark Brown whose successful three-year stint in the position ended when Wairarapa earned themselves a Hawke Cup challenge last season, the
first time they had achieved that feat in 25 years.
Curtis was a member of that Wairarapa squad, continuing a lengthy playing association at the top provincial level, many times as captain. A top order batsman and useful spin bowler, Curtis has also worn the Central Districts colours and has often left these shores to join overseas clubs in the off-season.
Curtis and his assistant Brian James, who was part of the Wairarapa selection panel last season, could find themselves in a rebuilding role this year.
Central Stag paceman Seth Rance and promising all-rounder Jamie Holmes are reportedly joining the Johnsonville club, who play in the Wellington competition.
