New Zealand have lost 14 of their last 17 ODIs, including nine in the sub-continent.
"We lost a lot of games in recent times and they were disappointing performances, particularly in the sub-continent, but I hope we can look at the World Cup as a fresh start. We are sure to up our confidence levels," Vettori said on the eve of their World Cup opener against Kenya.
Vettori, who had missed his side's last warm-up game against India due to a groin problem, has declared himself fit for the opener, but doubts remained over Nathan McCullum's participation. The all-rounder has just recovered from a bout of fever.
"We are all definitely available. Focus was on today's training. Nathan has been discharged from the hospital this morning and joined us for a light session. He is a lot better and might take a decision on playing him. He is confident that he can take part in the match on Sunday. But I don't want to take a risk with him since he is required for the full tournament," Vettori said.
