Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum has announced his retirement from international cricket with Kane Williamson to lead the side at the ICC World T20 in March.

The 34-year-old, who will play a world-record 100th successive test from his debut for New Zealand against Australia at the Basin Reserve on February 12, confirmed at a press conference in Christchurch on Tuesday that he will pull stumps on his Black Caps career following the second test against Australia at Hagley Oval from February 20.

McCullum had wanted to wait until after his final game to make the announcement, but the impending naming of the New Zealand squad for the World T20 in India, in which he will not be included, has forced his hand.

"Given the questions likely to be raised when the ICC World T20 squad is announced, it was thought better to be upfront and explain the situation now," White said. "We'll celebrate Brendon's wonderful contribution to New Zealand and world cricket at the end of the season. For now, we want to help him prepare for the upcoming seven weeks with the minimum of distractions." McCullum, who made his test debut against South Africa in Hamilton in 2004, initially forged a career as an explosive lower-order wicketkeeper batsman.

From his 99 tests to-date, McCullum has amassed 6273 runs from 172 innings to be No 2 on the New Zealand test run-scorers of all time, behind former captain Stephen Fleming (7172 runs).  He has scored 11 test centuries to be fifth equal with Nathan Astle for the number of centuries scored by a New Zealander. 

McCullum's career-defining knock came in the summer of 2013-14 when he was the first New Zealander to score a triple century. The skipper scored 302 against India at the Basin Reserve in Wellington to make international headlines. McCullum came into the role of captain under controversial circumstances, with Ross Taylor being dropped as captain on the tour of South Africa by coach Mike Hesson. 

He has proven a successful skipper and led the Black Caps to their first ever Cricket World Cup final this year where they lost to Australia by seven wickets. Following that campaign, McCullum and coach Hesson were made Members of the Order of New Zealand for services to cricket.

Shorter the format, bigger the impact individuals have. And if those in-form players can put together few match winning performances, they can pull their team through in short tournament of shortest format = T20 world cup. In 2016, who are the batsmen with most wickets and bowlers with most wickets, that's what we're calculating down in following..

The Delhi High Court held on 18th December said that ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2016 matches cannot be played in Delhi unless the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) acquires completion certificate and requisite compliances. ICC Twenty20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in India from 8th march to 3rd April. 

A seat of judges B.D. Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva further said that it had in its past request permitted DDCA to hold India-South Africa Test arrangement match in New Delhi from December 3 to 7 on the terms that in future they won't lead any new competition without a fulfillment authentication. 

It additionally said that in its December 18 request it was made clear that DDCA was given "last risk" to get the essential clearances by 31st walk. Clearances from Archeological Survey of India and Delhi Urban Arts Commission alongside no-protest declaration from Land and Development Office and a fulfillment testament from South Delhi Municipal Corporation.

The ICC World T20 Cup is officially on in full swing and already there are signs of it being a cracker of a tournament. What makes it even more special is that the teams this year are structured in such a way it is next to impossible to pick the winner in the current edition. Here’s looking at the top four teams that  stand a chance at winning the tourney on October 7.

India – The inaugural winners of the Cup, India certainly has an edge in T20s what with IPL being a huge sellout in the country over the past five years. The experience of players from the IPL will only help the team and the pitches in Sri Lanka, which is hosting the tournament, is not very different from Indian surfaces, except for a little less turn and bounce. That’s another advantage that India carries apart from a fairly robust team with the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli able to win matches on their own if they strike form. The bowling department is a little weak but comeback Singhs – Yuvraj and Harbhajan – will look to make the maximum gains for India. If we win, India will hold the enviable record of becoming the first nation to hold the ODI World Cup as well as World T20 Cup simultaneously.

Pakistan – Pakistan is to T20 what South Africa is to ODIs - the team that has always fallen just short. A misjudged scoop shot by Misbah-ul Haq sealed their fate in the first T20 World Cup.  But their consistency is beyond doubt. Pakistan has been in two finals, won once and reached the semi-finals last time around. The team, which is now led by Mohammed Hafeez, will see the return of players like Abdul Razzak, Mohammad Sami, Shoaib Malik and Sohail Tanvir, making this the most potent bowling attack in the tournament. And let’s not forget the ace in Pakistan’s armoury - Shahid Afridi - who will be keen to make a mark in this edition and continue his fine form in T20s.

West Indies – This is one team that is definitely on a high. West Indies were ruthless in their domination of New Zealand and beat the latter in all three formats of the game in their recently concluded series. This Darren Sammy led side can definitely go all the way given their mix of players and proven match winners. This IPL’s poster boy Chris Gayle is a part of the team, which means fireworks can definitely be expected. Apart from Gayle, other big hitters who found fame at the IPL such as Kieron Pollard, Marlon Samuels and Dwayne Smith are also part of the team along with Sunil Narine and Ravi Rampaul and Fidel Edwards who form a formidable pace attack among themselves. West Indies is the black horse of this tournament, no doubt about it.

Sri Lanka – This isn’t really difficult to guess. The team will look to make maximum use of their home crowd as they look for their elusive first T20 title. This is also the team that boasts of a mind-boggling array of world-class batsmen such as Kumar Sangakkara, Tillakaratne Dilshan and captain Mahela Jayawardene. All-rounder Angelo Matthews and pacer Lasith Malinga are other names the opposition will have to contend with. The team is ranked third in the ICC T20 rankings right now but without the presence of a ICC trophy, the team’s validation in this format will always be questioned. Sri Lanka will look to its power performers to change that equation in its favour.

We’re betting these four teams will make it to the semis but when the stakes get that high, it is almost impossible to predict who’ll win, especially in a tournament as unpredictable and mercurial as T20s. Who do you think will lift the Cup?

 Eight teams will participate in T20 world cup tournament. India is the first country who lifted the trophy for first T20 WC tournament in 2008. Pakistan was the second world cup T20 winner. England defeated Australia in the final match of T20 world cup 2010 tournament and owned their first international cricket trophy ever. West Indies beat Sri Lanka in the fourth T20 world cup tournament in 2011 to take the title. And Sri Lanka was the team which finally won the first world cup T20 trophy by defeating India. Let’s see which team picks up this year’s trophy on 3rd April 2016.

An ignominious defeat by the Netherlands and a limp exit from a tournament they had won four years earlier, the 2014 World Twenty20 marked one of the lowest points in England cricket history. Thanks to a stunning change of approach, Eoin Morgan's side can now be considered serious contenders for the 2016 competition in India starting on 8 March.

A historic 3-0 series whitewash of Pakistan in the UAE in November extended England's winning T20 run to six games - and they have lost only once since their Dutch humiliation.

After the draw for the World T20 was made on Friday, England batsman Joe Root and former spinner and 2010 winner Graeme Swann assess the reasons behind their resurgence and discuss whether they can become the first side to win the competition twice.

Andrew Strauss won only four T20 caps as a player, but the decision by England's director of cricket to concentrate more on limited-overs cricket this year was a vital factor in their T20 resurgence this year, according to Swann and Root.

"The greatest thing that's happened is Strauss getting in charge and completely separating the Test and one-day cricket formats, getting specialists in, people who have grown up playing the game," says Swann, who played 39 T20s between 2008 and 2012.

"In my time if you were a centrally contracted player you played ahead of guys that played a lot more T20 cricket.

"I don't think it's any surprise that the upturn in results is due to guys who are just better at the game playing for England."

Yet with separation has come a greater sense of unity between the ODI and T20 sides.

"The way we've approached one-day cricket recently has definitely helped the T20 team with more consistency in the overlap between the sides," says Root.

"You've got guys like Alex Hales and Jason Roy getting a lot more international experience.

"Having that opening partnership go across both formats and that understanding of batting with one another, that's very important."
