Nathan Leslie McCullum (born 1 September 1980) is a New Zealand international cricketer. A right hand lower-order batsman and right arm off break bowler, he is a member of the Otago Volts, competing in the State Championship, State Shield and State Twenty20 competitions and represented New Zealand in Twenty20 Internationals and One Day Internationals.

Background

McCullum is the son of former Otago representative Stuart McCullum and the older brother of current Otago and New Zealand international Brendon McCullum. He and Brendon attended King's High School.

Career

McCullum made his first class debut for Otago in the 1999–2000 season. His first List A match came in the 2000–01 season and his first Twenty20 domestic match was against Canterbury at Christchurch on 13 January 2006. Later that year, McCullum was selected as part of the 30-man preliminary squad for the Champions Trophy alongside fellow Otago team-mates Warren McSkimming and Bradley Scott but ultimately missed out on the final squad. He made his Twenty20 International debut for New Zealand against South Africa on 19 September 2007 at the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa. His highest score of 10 not out came against Australia on 15 February 2009.

He made his One Day International debut against Sri Lanka on 8 September 2009 at Colombo.

Although never playing test cricket, he has been a valuable asset in the shorter forms of the game, particularly in the ICC Cricket World Cup in the sub-continent in 2011.

McCullum is building a reputation as a travelling Twenty 20 player, having played in Twenty 20 tournaments since 2010 for Lancashire, Pune Warriors India, Sydney Sixers and Glamorgan as well as still turning out for his native side Otago.
