'''Brendon Barrie McCullum''' {{post-nominals|country=NZL|ONZM}} (born 27 September 1981) is a former New Zealand [[cricket]]er and the current head coach of the [[England Cricket]] Test team. Representing [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]], he played all formats, including as captain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/player/37737.html|title=Brendon McCullum|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> McCullum was renowned for his quick scoring, notably recording the fastest test century of all time. He is considered one of the most successful batsmen and captains of New Zealand cricket. As captain, he led New Zealand to the finals of the [[2015 Cricket World Cup]].

McCullum is the former leading run scorer in [[Twenty20 International]] (T20I) cricket and is the first and so far only one of the two Kiwi players to have scored two [[List of centuries in Twenty20 International cricket|T20I centuries]] and 2000 runs in T20I (apart from [[Martin Guptill]]).<ref>{{citation|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/282827.html |title=T20I-Most runs in career |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=7 February 2014 |access-date=7 February 2014}}</ref><ref>[http://www.rediff.com/cricket/report/world-t20-stats-mccullum-inches-closer-to-2000-run-mark-in-t20s/20140323.htm McCullum inches closer to 2000-run mark in T20s].

Retrieved on 27 May 2018.</ref> His innings of 123 against Bangladesh in the [[2012 ICC World Twenty20]] is currently the highest score made by a New Zealand cricketer in the T20I format, and the highest score by a batsman in the history of the [[ICC Men's T20 World Cup]]. He became the first New Zealander to score a triple hundred in a Test, 302 runs against India on 18 February 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/208504.html|title=Records –Test Matches-Batting records – Most runs in an innings|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref> In 2014, he also became the first New Zealander to score 1000 test runs in a calendar year (1164). The record was bettered by [[Kane Williamson]] with 1172 runs in 2015. In his last Test outing on 20 February 2016, McCullum posted the fastest ever Test century, in 54 balls, beating the 56-ball record held by his hero, [[Vivian Richards]], scoring a total of 145 off 79 balls. He also holds the record for the fastest 150 in Test cricket.<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/35620560 Brendon McCullum: New Zealand captain breaks fastest Test century record</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title = Cricket: Brendon McCullum announces retirement|url = http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11564843&ref=NZH_FBpage|newspaper = New Zealand Herald|date = 22 December 2015|access-date = 22 December 2015|issn = 1170-0777|language = en-NZ}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title = McCullum announces retirement date|url = http://www.cricket.com.au/news/brendon-mccullum-retiring-announcement-international-cricket-after-australia-tour-new-zealand-2015/2015-12-22|website = cricket.com.au|access-date = 22 December 2015}}</ref>

McCullum was the first batsman to score 2 tons in T20I. He was the previous record holder for the highest individual score in a [[Twenty20 International]] (123 against [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] in 2012) and third highest individual score in all [[Twenty20]] cricket (158 not out for the Kolkata Knight Riders against the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in 2008) which was later surpassed by Aaron Finch (172 against [[Zimbabwe]] for Australia) and Chris Gayle (175 against the [[Pune Warriors India]]) for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013 edition of IPL.<ref name="T20records">{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/284262.html|title=Records – Twenty20 Internationals – Batting records – Most runs in an innings|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=22 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/284198.html|title=Records – Twenty20 Matches – Batting records – Most runs in an innings|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=11 March 2015}}</ref> He played for the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] from 2008 to 2010 and again from 2012 to 2013, while in between he played for the [[Kochi Tuskers Kerala]]. He played the 2014 and 2015 seasons for the [[Chennai Super Kings]]. McCullum was a [[wicket-keeper]] until 2013.

On 22 December 2015, McCullum announced he would retire from international cricket at the end of the southern summer, joining his brother who had earlier that year announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. He is also the highest (170) runs scorer by a captain in his farewell test and first captain to score a century in his farewell test.<ref name="Baz">{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?captain=1;class=1;debut_or_last=2;filter=advanced;orderby=runs;template=results;type=batting;view=match |title=Most runs by a captain in farewell Test|access-date=22 February 2016 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><ref name="Bazcaptain">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-australia-2015-16/content/story/975205.html|title=Captain in farewell Test|access-date=22 February 2016 |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=22 February 2016 }}</ref> He retired from international duty on 24 February 2016 and  from all forms of cricket in August 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27327272/brendon-mccullum-retire-global-t20-canada |title=Brendon McCullum to retire after Global T20 Canada |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=5 August 2019}}</ref>

==Domestic career==
On 3 March 2008, before facing England for the test series, McCullum was involved in the [[State Shield]] Final versus the [[Auckland Aces]], scoring 170 runs for the [[Otago Volts]] to help beat the Aces at [[Eden Park]]'s outer oval, and helped to chase down a daunting total of 7 for 310, he broke multiple State Shield batting records. He scored the fastest LA hundred off 52 balls, including 14 fours and 5 sixes. With 170 runs in the match, McCullum scored the highest score by any player in a domestic one-day match (Shell or State competitions) overtaking [[Blair Hartland]]'s previous record.

McCullum played for [[Glamorgan County Cricket Club|Glamorgan]] in 2006 and he scored 160 opening the batting against [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club|Leicestershire]] in the County Championship. On 24 January 2009, he lined up for [[New South Wales cricket team|New South Wales]] in the final of Australia's KFC Twenty20 Big Bash. This was an exercise to allow him to be eligible to play for them in the Twenty20 Champions League. This sparked criticism however despite opinion States are permitted to have one overseas player in their squad. McCullum also donated his match fee from the game to Otago Junior Cricket.

On 16 January 2010 during the [[2009-10 HRV Cup]], vs [[Auckland Aces]] at [[University Oval, Dunedin|University Oval]], McCullum hit 108 not out off 67 deliveries, which included 10 fours and four sixes to lead [[Otago Volts]] to victory with three balls to spare. 
McCullum reached his 50 off 32 deliveries and his century off 65 deliveries.

While playing for Warwickshire in the [[2015 t20 Blast|2015 T20 Blast]] McCullum hit what was at the time the highest score in England's domestic T20 cup, 158* from just 64 balls.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Twenty20 Cup (England) Cricket Team Records & Stats |url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_innings.html?id=113&type=trophy|access-date=2021-05-18|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> The innings remains the highest T20 score by a batsman at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-05-16|title=Edgbaston T20 Blast Statistics and Records|url=https://t20-head-to-head.com/t20-blast-stadium-statistics-records/edgbaston/|access-date=2021-05-18|website=T20 Head to Head|language=en-GB}}</ref> Following his announcement to retire from international cricket in 2015, he signed with [[Middlesex County Cricket Club|Middlesex]] for the 2016 NatWest T20 Blast, a blow for Warwickshire who had hoped he would return to them<ref>{{cite web|title = Middlesex win race for McCullum|url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2016/content/story/954611.html|website =ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 23 December 2015}}</ref>

In September 2016 he signed with the [[Lahore Qalandars]] for the [[2017 Pakistan Super League|2017 season]] of the [[Pakistan Super League]] and will be the team's captain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dailytimes.com.pk/sports/20-Sep-16/qalandars-sign-mccullum-as-new-captain |title=Qalandars sign McCullum as new captain |work=Daily Times |date=20 September 2016 |access-date=19 October 2016}}</ref>

In the inaugural [[Indian Premier League]] tournament in 2008 he played for [[Kolkata Knight Riders]]. On 18 April 2008 in the first-ever IPL match, he achieved the highest [[Twenty20]] individual score in an innings, 158* against RCB.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/current/story/346913.html|title=McCullum record 158 stuns Bangalore|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 18 April 2008}}</ref> This eclipsed the previous record mark of 141, held by Australian [[Cameron White]]. Coincidentally, McCullum faced an over from White during the match and scored 24 from it; it was White's only over in that match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/284198.html|title=Twenty20 matches, Most runs in an innings|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 18 April 2008}}</ref> This record was eventually broken by [[Chris Gayle]] when he piled on 175 runs in IPL 2013. In the same match he also claimed the record for most sixes (13) in a Twenty20 innings,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/305204.html|title=Most sixes in an innings|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 18 April 2008}}</ref> which was later surpassed by Englishman [[Graham Napier]] (16).

He was bought by [[Kochi Tuskers Kerala]] in the 2011 IPL auctions. He returned to the Knight Riders in 2012. In the 2014 IPL auctions, McCullum was bought by [[Chennai Super Kings]]. He was given the role of opening the innings along with West Indian [[Dwayne Smith]] and the pair was considered the most dangerous opening pair in the league's history. In 2018 he was released by CSK and bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2018.

During the RCB's season opener against [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] during the [[2018 IPL]] season, he reached 9000 runs in all forms of T20 cricket and became only the second player after [[Chris Gayle]] to achieve the milestone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/ipl/article/ipl-2018-kkr-vs-rcb-brendon-mccullum-becomes-second-player-after-chris-gayle-to-reach-9000-t20-runs/215265|title=Brendon McCullum marches onto become the second player to cross 9000 T20 runs|website=Times Now|date=8 April 2018 |access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref>

==International career==
In 2004, McCullum played in a Test series against [[England cricket team|England]] and scored 96 runs at [[Lord's]]. His maiden Test century came several months later when he scored 143 against [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]]. He fell just short of his second Test hundred in a game against [[Sri Lanka cricket team|Sri Lanka]] when dismissed one short of his hundred. His second century would later come with a run a ball 111 against [[Zimbabwe cricket team|Zimbabwe]].

He was selected in the 20-man [[ICC World XI]] squad for the [[ICC Super Series]] in July 2005. On 20 February 2007, he scored 86 not out as New Zealand went on to be the first team to whitewash Australia in a three-match ODI series since 1997. During the innings he partnered with [[Craig McMillan]] to score 165, equalling the world record for a 6th wicket partnership.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070309140554/http://www1.cricinfo.com/db/STATS/ODIS/PARTNERSHIPS/ODI_PARTNERSHIP_RECORDS.html Records | One-Day Internationals | Partnership records | Highest partnerships by wicket]. ESPNcricinfo</ref>

On 31 December 2007, he scored 50 from just 19 balls against Bangladesh. He finished his innings with 80 runs from only 28 balls, including 9 fours and 6 sixes with a strike rate of 285.71.

===Record breaking===
[[File:India Vs New zealand One day International, 10 December 2010 (6159886767).jpg|thumb|300px|right|McCullum batting against [[India national cricket team|India]] in an ODI in December 2010]]
On 1 July 2008, McCullum scored his maiden ODI century, a 135-ball 166, against Ireland in the [[2008 Associates Tri-Series in Scotland|Associates Tri-Series in Scotland]]. His century, along with [[James Marshall (cricketer)|James Marshall]]'s 161, (his maiden ODI century in his last appearance, in which he shared in a 266 opening stand with McCullum which is the highest ODI partnership for any wicket in Black Caps history and the second highest opening partnership in all ODIs.) and [[Ross Taylor]]'s 59, elevated New Zealand to 402, the highest and their only 400+ score for their team until date, and they won by 290 runs, setting a world record for the biggest margin of victory by runs, a record that stood until 2023.

On 5 April 2009, on day three of the third Test match during [[Indian cricket team in New Zealand in 2008–09#Test series|India's tour of New Zealand]], he displayed an amazing level of alertness in the dismissal of [[Rahul Dravid]]. Dravid attempted a sweep shot off [[Daniel Vettori]]'s bowling, but McCullum saw what Dravid was up to before the ball had even pitched and moved swiftly to his left (Dravid's leg side). [[Ross Taylor]] at first slip did the same. The ball came nicely off Dravid's bat, but flew straight into the hands of a waiting Brendon McCullum.<ref>[http://content.cricinfo.com/nzvind2009/content/current/story/398362.html Wily McCullum out-thinks Dravid | Cricket Features | New Zealand v India 2008–09]. ESPNcricinfo (5 April 2009). Retrieved on 27 May 2018.</ref> A couple of balls earlier, McCullum tried the same thing, but he had been a little slow and Dravid's sweep was kept low. Although there has been some discussion regarding the legality of McCullum's movement before the ball had even pitched, the [[laws of cricket]] indicate he was well within his right to do so.<ref>[http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/laws-of-cricket/laws/law-40-the-wicket-keeper,66,AR.html Law 40 (The wicket-keeper) – Laws – Laws of Cricket – Laws & Spirit – Lord's<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100221064529/http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/laws-of-cricket/laws/law-40-the-wicket-keeper%2C66%2CAR.html |date=21 February 2010 }}</ref>

On 6 November 2009, against Pakistan at [[Abu Dhabi]], McCullum scored his second ODI century of 131 to elevate New Zealand to 303 and win the match to level the series.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/pakvnz2009/engine/match/426721.html 2nd ODI: New Zealand v Pakistan at Abu Dhabi, 6 Nov 2009 | Cricket Scorecard]. ESPNcricinfo (6 November 2009). Retrieved on 27 May 2018.</ref> On 16 February 2010, during the only Test match against [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]], he scored 185, which is the highest score ever by a New Zealand wicket-keeper in Test cricket. He was also involved in the record highest sixth-wicket partnership for New Zealand of 339 runs with [[Martin Guptill]], missing out on the world record by just 12 runs.

On 27 February 2010, McCullum became the second player to score a [[List of centuries in Twenty20 International cricket|T20I hundred]], finishing 116 not out, one run short of [[Chris Gayle]]'s record of 117. On 4 May 2010 McCullum became the first player to score 1,000 T20 international runs. He achieved this feat playing against Zimbabwe in the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]] at Guyana.

On 28 June 2010, McCullum announced that he would not keep wicket for New Zealand in Test matches. He, however, informed that he will still keep in 50-overs & T20 over games.<ref>[http://www.themercury.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=5531992 McCullum decides to quit keeping in tests], published 28 June 2009</ref> He did a fine job in his first innings since handing over the wicketkeeping duties he scored 65 runs and was engaged in a 104 run partnership with [[Ross Taylor]] he was promoted to the position of opener in tests rather than his usual number 5 position. McCullum did however have experience of opening the innings because he opens for New Zealand in limited-overs cricket.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/india-v-new-zealand-2010/content/current/story/485845.html India v New Zealand: We showed strength of character – McCullum | Cricket News | India v New Zealand]. ESPNcricinfo(6 November 2010). Retrieved on 27 May 2018.</ref>

On 21 September 2012 at the [[2012 ICC World Twenty20]] tournament in Sri Lanka, McCullum scored 123 runs against [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] at [[Pallekele International Cricket Stadium|Pallekele]], setting a new record for the highest Twenty20 International innings, and becoming the first player to score two [[List of centuries in Twenty20 International cricket|Twenty20 International centuries]]. This record was broken by [[Aaron Finch]] against England, when he scored 156. However, McCullum is one of the two players to have scored two Twenty20 International centuries along with West Indian [[Chris Gayle]].

He was awarded the T20 Player of the Year by NZC for the 2012–13 season.<ref name="nzcricketmuseum.co.nz">{{cite web | url=http://nzcricketmuseum.co.nz/new-zealand-cricket-awards/ | title=New Zealand Cricket Awards | date=4 April 2018 | access-date=21 July 2019 | archive-date=22 July 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190722000748/http://nzcricketmuseum.co.nz/new-zealand-cricket-awards/ | url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:England vs. New Zealand 2015 (13).jpg|thumb|right|250px|McCullum playing in an ODI against [[England national cricket team|England]] in 2015]]
In 2014 at the [[Basin Reserve]] in [[Wellington]], McCullum scored 302 runs in the third innings of the second test against India, becoming the first New Zealand batsman to score a [[List of Test cricket triple centuries|triple-century]]. He shared a 352 run partnership with [[BJ Watling]], then a [[Partnership (cricket)#Test record partnerships by wicket|record sixth wicket stand]],<ref name="Partnership records">{{cite web|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|title=Records – Test Matches – Partnership Records|access-date=18 February 2014|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283575.html}}</ref> rescuing New Zealand from a likely innings defeat.

On 21 November 2014, McCullum took his first-ever wicket at test level, a caught-and-bowled of Pakistan's [[Sarfraz Ahmed]] during their second test. On 29 November 2014, McCullum scored a century on day 2 of the third test against the same opposition, in which both teams decided to call off play on the day before as a tribute to [[Phillip Hughes]], and hand-written P.H. under each player's squad number as a further mark of respect.  He was bowled out on 202 after hitting eleven sixes in his innings, by far a record for New Zealand opening batsman.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx1bEFIaT1k Brendon McCullum 202 vs. Pakistan (Sharjah 2014)].

On 13 December 2014, McCullum was named [[New Zealander of the Year]] by the ''[[New Zealand Herald]]'' beating out stiff competition from Lane Pilkington due to his continued co-operation with ICC over the match-fixing scandal which resulted in [[Chris Cairns]] being charged for lying to court, and also for changing the perception of the Black Caps as easy-beats.<ref>Cleaver, Dylan (13 December 2014) [http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11373420 2014 New Zealander of the Year: Brendon McCullum]</ref><ref>[http://www.cricket.geek.nz/2014/12/new-zealands-remarkable-consistency.html New Zealand's remarkable consistency under McCullum].

On the first day of the Boxing Day Test at [[Hagley Oval]], McCullum scored 195 in the first innings against Sri Lanka, which gave him 1000 test runs in a calendar year, becoming the first New Zealander to reach this milestone (1164 at the end of the match, with [[Kane Williamson]] at 929),<ref>{{cite web | url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;spanmax1=31+Dec+2014;spanmin1=01+Jan+2014;spanval1=span;team=5;template=results;type=batting | title=Batting records for NZ Test matches, 2014 | publisher=ESPNcricinfo | access-date=19 January 2015}}</ref> and the fastest test century (in 74 balls), beating his own record against Pakistan in Sharjah.<ref name=":0" /> He fell 5 runs shy of his 4th 200+ scores in a calendar year.

He also closed the year with a triple century and two double centuries, the third person to do so after [[Donald Bradman]] and [[Michael Clarke (cricketer)|Michael Clarke]].

On 3 January 2015 McCullum returned to Basin Reserve, where he scored his triple century against India.  While he got a 2-ball [[Duck (cricket)|duck]] on a [[Cricket#Uniqueness of each field|green pitch]] and three errors as a fielder, he was given a key to Wellington, a symbolic equivalent of "Honorary Citizen", in recognition of his heroics the previous year, becoming the third person to receive the honour after Wellington-born [[Peter Jackson|Sir Peter Jackson]] and [[Richard Taylor (filmmaker)|Sir Richard Taylor]], who were recognised by the city for their work on the ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|Lord of the Rings]]'' movies.<ref>[http://www.3news.co.nz/sport/brendon-mccullum-receives-key-to-wellington-2015010318#axzz3NneSZMxQ Brendon McCullum receives key to Wellington] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150104013332/http://www.3news.co.nz/sport/brendon-mccullum-receives-key-to-wellington-2015010318#axzz3NneSZMxQ |date=4 January 2015 }}. 3news.co.nz (3 January 2015).

===Late career===
McCullum also led New Zealand in the [[2015 Cricket World Cup]], which was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia. On 20 February 2015, in New Zealand's third Pool A match against England, McCullum scored 77 runs off 25 balls, recording the fastest 50 in World Cup history (51 runs off 18 balls) and the 4th fastest fifty of all time. McCullum led the New Zealand team to their first World Cup final, scoring timely innings in the pool match against Australia and South Africa in the semi-final. The semi-final victory was New Zealand's first after six semi-final losses in the past. In the [[2015 Cricket World Cup Final|final against Australia]], McCullum was bowled for a [[Duck (cricket)|duck]] in just the first over of the match by [[Mitchell Starc]], as New Zealand went on to lose to [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] by 7 wickets. Over the course of the tournament, McCullum was particularly aggressive in both batting as well as his captaincy, contributing to New Zealand reaching the finals. His aggressive starts against the strike bowlers of the opposition team such as [[James Anderson (cricketer)|James Anderson]], [[Mitchell Johnson (cricketer)|Mitchell Johnson]], and [[Dale Steyn]] favoured the rest of the players to play their natural game.

On 21 May 2015, McCullum started in his 93rd consecutive test, and batted in his preferred spot at no. 5. On 13 December 2015, on McCullum's 98th consecutive test start, he scored his 100th six hit in test cricket, tying the record by Adam Gilchrist. On 12 February 2016, McCullum started his 100th consecutive test, but was dismissed in both innings by [[Mitchell Marsh]], making Marsh the second person since [[Jason Gillespie]] to dismiss him on both innings of 2 test matches.

On 22 December 2015, McCullum announced his intention to retire from international cricket at the end of the southern summer in his home test against Australia, rather than after the [[2016 ICC World Twenty20]]. He played his last ODI match against Australia on 8 February 2016 in which he scored 47 off 27 and New Zealand beat Australia by 55 runs thereby winning the [[Chappell-Hadlee Trophy]] 2–1.

On 20 February 2016, in his final test in his adopted home of [[Christchurch]], McCullum became the only member left from the last Trans-Tasman Test in Christchurch in the pre-earthquake [[Lancaster Park|AMI Stadium]]. The third day of the test was the 5th anniversary of the [[2011 Christchurch earthquake]]. He hit his 102nd career six to surpass [[Adam Gilchrist]] as the most prolific six-hitter in test cricket. He went on to score a century off 54 balls, beating the joint record by West Indian [[Viv Richards|Viv Richard]] and Pakistani [[Misbah-ul-Haq|Misbah-ul-Haq's]] record for the fastest test century by 2 balls.<ref>{{cite web|title = McCullum scores fastest hundred in Test history|url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-australia-2015-16/content/story/974457.html|website =ESPNcricinfo|access-date = 20 February 2016}}</ref> He also became the second player since [[Jason Gillespie]] to score a hundred or more in his final test. McCullum also recorded the highest (170) runs scorer by the captain in farewell test and 1st captain to score a ton in farewell test.<ref name="Baz"/><ref name="Bazcaptain"/> He also took four catches as a fielder at first slip, deputising for the injured [[Ross Taylor]].

On 22 February 2016, McCullum played his last innings in a Test Match against Australia. He scored 25 off 27, when he was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood one ball after hitting him for a 6. McCullum was given a guard of honour upon entry onto the field, and was given a standing ovation once dismissed. Brendon McCullum on his retirement said that the time was right to quit international cricket and said that he hopefully left and brought some fun and enjoyment and some real culture back into the set-up in the time that he had as captain.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-sports/its-not-the-ideal-way-to-go-out-mccullum/article8277693.ece It’s not the ideal way to go out: McCullum].

==Playing style==
McCullum originally played in the side as a [[wicketkeeper]]-batsman.  His glove work improved during his tenure as the New Zealand wicketkeeper. His batting is good enough to earn him selection for the Black Caps alone, shown by the occasions on which he has been unable to keep but has still been selected as a batsman.<ref name="TVNZ_2527429">{{cite web |url=http://tvnz.co.nz/cricket-news/butler-replaced-fourth-odi-2527429 |title=Vettori returns as Southee takes cover |date=9 March 2009 |work=[[Television New Zealand]] |access-date=21 September 2011}}</ref> He opens the batting for New Zealand in [[One Day International|ODI]]s with steadily improving success. He is an aggressive batsman who is particularly strong over extra cover, often lofting the ball into the stands, and also square-cutting, or square-driving the ball.  He is also adept at using the scoop shot, even using it at tests, so much so that [[Dilscoop|McScoop]] was named after him.  In 2010 McCullum hung up the gloves In Test cricket due to continued body strain and became a specialist batsmen in Test cricket, opening the innings in his first match as a specialist batsmen against India in Ahmedabad. He was described as a player "especially suited to [[Twenty20]] cricket" when he signed for a five-week stint at [[Glamorgan County Cricket Club|Glamorgan]] in June 2006.<ref>[http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/250524.html Brendon McCullum signs for Glamorgan], from ESPNcricinfo, published 15 June 2006</ref> The stint included the entire domestic 2006 Twenty20 Cup. He was signed up by the Kolkata Knight Riders of the IPL for $700,000. His contract with the IPL was for three years. In 2016, he was signed by the replacement/expansion team [[Gujarat Lions]] for US$1.1 million, making him the highest paid overseas player in the team's foundation squad.

He has the ability to play the [[Dilscoop]] (which was invented by Sri Lankan [[Tillakaratne Dilshan]]) or precisely the [[Marillier shot|ramp shot]], which involves the batsman squatting down and scooping deliveries back over the wicketkeeper's area. The two shots have their own distinction, where Dilscoop is played right above the wicket-keeper's head, but ramp shot can be played in sideways of the wicket-keeper as well. Playing this ramp shot in a Twenty20 International match on 28 February 2010 in [[Lancaster Park]], against Australia, he managed to hit [[Shaun Tait]] for two sixes in an over back over [[Brad Haddin]]'s head, forcing Australia to set a back stop (the fielder near the boundary behind the wicketkeeper or first slip) in his final test match.  He can also execute [[reverse sweep]] well. He also likes to cut, cover drive, or advance the wicket to punch the ball up for boundaries from a batting stance standing on or outside leg stump.

During the Twenty20 World Championship in 2009, the wicketkeeping duties was given to [[Peter McGlashan]].  He was seen practicing his medium bowling. McCullum had to decide whether to play for New South Wales, KKR, or Otago in the 1st edition of the [[Champions League Twenty20]]. Since KKR did not qualify, he had only to consider playing for either New South Wales or Otago; eventually he had decided to play for Otago alongside brother [[Nathan McCullum]].<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/t20champions2009/content/current/story/420659.html McCullum commits to Otago for Champions League], ESPNcricinfo (21 August 2009).</ref>

In 2012, [[BJ Watling]] became McCullum's replacement as wicketkeeper in Tests, but due to [[Luke Ronchi]]'s struggles in ODIs, McCullum still remained as wicketkeeper in ODIs and T20s.  But by late 2013, McCullum's recurring back problems meant he can no longer perform wicketkeeping duties effectively, he gave up his gloves to Ronchi in ODIs and T20s, and McCullum became a middle order batsman, or as a cover for opening the batting in tests, having batted at 1,2,5–7 in his career, while his fielding position becomes predominantly mid-off, mid-on or mid-wicket, and in his final international matches, he ended at first slip after the injury to Ross Taylor.  He is also a very seldom-used part-time medium pace bowler in tests.  He got his first wicket in all forms of international cricket from a caught-and-bowled against [[Sarfraz Ahmed]] of [[Pakistan Cricket Team|Pakistan]] which ended their first innings in 2014. McCullum was picked for [[2015 ICC Cricket World Cup]] as an opening batsman due to inconsistencies from [[Martin Guptill]] and [[Tom Latham (cricketer)|Tom Latham]] and the emergence of [[Grant Elliott]] as a solid option at number five batsman. His role as a pinch hitter saw the team reach their first-ever World Cup final.  After the World Cup, he returned to his preferred spot at number five for tests. He still occasionally keeps wickets for domestic T20s until 2015.

==International recognition==
In the [[2015 Birthday Honours|2015 Queen's Birthday Honours]] McCullum was appointed an [[New Zealand Order of Merit|Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit]] for services to cricket.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dpmc.govt.nz/honours/lists/qb2015-list |title=Queen's Birthday honours list 2015 |date=1 June 2015 |publisher=Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet |access-date=1 June 2015}}</ref> He won the [[Halberg Awards|New Zealand Sportsman Of The Year]] award in 2014, and then the Sport New Zealand Leadership Award in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.sportnz.org.nz/news-and-events/media-releases-and-updates/articles/mccullums-halberg-leadership-award-well-deserved|title= McCullum's Halberg Leadership Award well deserved|author= <!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->|website= Sport New Zealand|access-date= 18 February 2016|archive-date= 5 March 2016|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160305022311/http://www.sportnz.org.nz/news-and-events/media-releases-and-updates/articles/mccullums-halberg-leadership-award-well-deserved|url-status= dead}}</ref>
