Chester-le-Street, United Kingdom--New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum said he would take some time to decide on his one-day international future after the dramatic climax to a 3-2 series loss in England.
The 33-year-old McCullum has a longstanding back complaint and there has been speculation that, after 254 matches at this level, he could miss New Zealand's limited overs-only tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa in August with the aim of giving heir apparent Kane Williamson more captaincy experience.
Having led New Zealand to a maiden World Cup final on March 29 where they suffered a seven-wicket defeat by Australia in Melbourne, McCullum may decide he has few more peaks left to climb in the one-day game.
"I don't know. We'll wait and see," said McCullum when asked about his one-day future after England's three-wicket win in a rain-affected clash at Chester-le-Street on Saturday gave the hosts a 3-2 victory in the five-match series.
"We'll let the dust settle on this. It's been a great year, an incredible summer for us.
"We've scaled some heights that hadn't been done before by our country and we're starting to build a soul to how we play."
