The opening ODI is on Boxing Day in Christchurch, McCullum’s hometown and where he will play his last international in the second Test against Australia in two months.

"We've got a bumper calendar really with Sri Lanka here at the moment, Pakistan to come and finishing off with the Aussies," he said.

"From a playing point of view and a captain's point of view, I’m fully committed to playing at the absolute top of my game and make as many contributions as I can."
