Role
McCullum plays in the side as an opening wicketkeeper batsman during ODIs and middle order in Test Matches . His glovework improved during his tenure as the incumbent New Zealand Test wicketkeeper. McCullum is usually very tidy behind the stumps with some outstanding catches to his name. His batting was arguably good enough to earn him selection for the Black Caps alone. He opens the batting for New Zealand for ODIs with improving success. He is an aggressive batsman who is particularly strong over extra cover, often lofting the ball into the stands. He was described as a player "especially suited to Twenty20 cricket" when he signed for a five-week stint at Glamorgan in June 2006.[5] The stint included the entire domestic 2006 Twenty20 Cup. He was signed up by the Kolkata Franchise of the IPL for $ 700,000. His contract with the IPL is for 3 years.
