    Brendon McCullum to retire from international cricket
  • New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum will retire from all forms of international cricket.

    McCullum made the announcement in Christchurch, where he said the home-series against Australia in February will be his last.

    "I've loved my opportunity to play for, and captain the Black Caps. But all good things have to come to an end, and I'm just grateful for the wonderful experience," he said.

    McCullum's cricket debut
  • Brendon Barrie McCullum, born in Dunedin, Otago, NZ hails from a cricketing family.

    His father, Stuart, played first-class cricket for Otago while his brother, Nathan, represented New Zealand.

    In 2002, McCullum made his New Zealand debut as a 20-year-old batsman in a one-day international against Australia at Sydney.

    Two years later, in 2004, he made his Test debut against South Africa.

    Some of McCullum's records
  • As a batsman, McCullum had been a high-impact, aggressive player, batting largely in the middle order in Tests, and as an opener in the shorter formats.

    He is the first and so far, New Zealand's only triple-centurion.

    McCullum is the joint-record holder for most Test sixes alongside Adam Gilchrist. He also holds the record for most Twenty20 sixes with 91.
