Brendon McCullum might play for Otago in New Zealand domestic circuit: Cricket News Update
Domestic cricket is going to be on the schedule for New Zealand’s opening wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129, who will presumably play for Otago Volts, the player’s domestic hometown side. He will also be part of the Brisbane Heat, for the upcoming Twenty20
Big Bash tournament in Australia, scheduled to take off later this year.
Based on recent reports, the player’s probable inclusion in the squad was further supported by the Otago Cricket Association’s Chief Executive, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ross-Alexander-Dykes-c86869, who shared that McCullum might be participating in the Otago Volts and even lead the side after veteran
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Craig-Cumming-c1289 decided to step down from the post.
However, the affair remains to be a decided since the schedules for the two upcoming domestic tournaments, Big Bash and the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 domestic series, may coincide in December. The local series takes off later that month, while the Big Bash is set to take
off in mid December.
d**e, however, stated that the clash would not affect McCullum’s participation.
"As I also understand it, there will be discussions between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 Cricket, New Zealand Cricket and Otago Cricket around any cricket that he will play," stated d**e. The official went on to add, "So I don't see it as being an issue. It is probably an
opportunity for Brendon to display his wares in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Otago-c829."
McCullum’s participation in the upcoming Australian Big Bash was confirmed recently after Brisbane Heat announced to take on the player as their first International sign up.
The Kiwi wicketkeeper is set to be joined by his former skipper and country mate, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DL-Vettori-c1384, Brisbane Heat’s second International sign up.
McCullum inclusion on the Brisbane Heat squad was much welcomed by the team’s coach Darren Lehman who stated that the players are delighted to have the Kiwi on the squad.
The Black Caps player holds an aggressive T20 profile after having participated in a total of 122 T20 matches, with an aggressive total of 3073 runs at an impressive strike rate of 136.45.
