Brendon McCullum has officially
announced that he will retire after the
second Test against Australia in
February. It also means that he will not
be available for the T20 WC starting
soon after and Kane Williamson is set
to lead New Zealand in the marquee
tournament.
"Ideally, I would have preferred to wait
until after the Test in Christchurch to
make this news public. However, the
schedule for naming the T20 WC
squads means I could not have
managed this without causing a lot of
confusion and speculation - something
I was keen to avoid.
"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 of playing for my country," said McCullum. Read more @: Brendon McCullum announces retirement after Australia Tests - Cricbuzz

Brendon McCullum: New Zealand captain to retire in February

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum is to retire from international cricket.

The 34-year-old batsman has confirmed that the Test series against Australia in February will be his 101st and last.

McCullum is second on New Zealand's all-time Test run scorers, with 6,273 runs from 99 matches.

"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 on Tuesday.

Kane Williamson will captain New Zealand at the World Twenty20 in India, which starts on 8 March.

McCullum, who made his Test debut in 2004 against South Africa, became the first New Zealander to score a triple century when he reached 302 against India in February 2014.

He led the Black Caps to their first ever Cricket World Cup final this year, where they lost to Australia.
