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
