CRICKET: NZ star McCullum joins Sussex to replace Dilshan

SUSSEX County Cricket Club have signed New Zealand international Brendon McCullum for the Friends Provident t20 competition.

The wicketkeeper-batsman replaces Tillakaratne Dilshan, who has been declined permission to play by Sri Lanka cricket, following their scheduling of additional tours to the USA and Zimbabwe in late May and early June.

McCullum, 27, is a hard-hitting right-handed batsman, who has made a name for himself in the shortest form of the game, with a highest score of 158 not out in the very first IPL game in 2007.
