Updated: NZC acknowledges UK police decision

Update 18 September 2014 - from NZ Herald article 'McCullum won't back away'
“I’m clearly unable to comment on matters before the courts. However, I would like to say this: New Zealand Cricket supports Brendon McCullum. In particular, we support his right to privacy and client confidentiality, and we support his right to bear witness without fear or intimidation.” – David White, CEO, New Zealand Cricket.


New Zealand Cricket acknowledges the decision from British police to lay perjury charges against former New Zealand cricketer, Chris Cairns. These charges, quite different from proceedings conducted by cricket authorities into match-fixing and corruption, will now be tested in a British court of law and be subject to the normal processes of a criminal trial. 

Accordingly, NZC will not make any comment on the matter until such time all proceedings have been concluded.
