The former New Zealand captain was expected to feature in the Euro T20 Slam but has pulled out of the competition, thanking the organizers for their support and understanding.
Pioneering an attacking style of cricket, McCullum will always be remembered for bringing a fresh exuberance to the way the game was approached. The explosive stroke-maker firmly believed in the theory of counter-attack, dominating the opposition from the onset.
The swashbuckler boasts of a decorated T20I career, having scored over 2000 runs in 71 matches including two magnificent centuries. Blazing a destructive 156 in the opening game of the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League and smashing the fastest-ever Test hundred in his final appearance in whites will go down in history as prominent highlights of his career.
Apart from being an accomplished batsman, McCullum was renowned for his extra-ordinary fielding prowess. From plunging acrobatic catches on the boundary rope and defying gravity to pull off jaw-dropping efforts to save an extra run, he was undoubtedly one of the best fielders the cricketing fraternity has ever witnessed.
