Cricket: Senior players must step up - Vaughan

A plea for the senior Black Caps to perform from New Zealand Cricket's chief executive after the side's ninth one-day international loss in a row.

New Zealand has lost every game they've played since August, including a series whitewash against Bangladesh and three hidings from India on the subcontinent, the venue for the World Cup starting in February.

CEO Justin Vaughan says they have the right players but they're not performing.

Vaughan says he'd love to know which players they shouldn't be choosing.

He says the problem is the senior players are just not playing well enough on a consistent basis.

Vaughan has also defended the management structure.
