Luke Ronchi's ticket into the New Zealand one-day team looks set to be extended after coach Mike Hesson confirmed skipper Brendon McCullum's wicketkeeping days were all but over, according to reports.

New Zealand reassemble in Hamilton today after they were given two days off by Hesson in the wake of their stunning innings and 73 run win over West Indies inside three days, the report added.
