McCullum has played for Rawtenstall in the Lancashire League

Lancashire have signed New Zealand international Nathan McCullum for the Twenty20 campaign.

The 29-year-old all-rounder played at the recent Twenty20 World Cup along with brother Brendon.

The Kiwi replaces Shoaib Malik who returned to Pakistan after his international ban was overturned.

Director of cricket Mike Watkinson told the club website: "He is an experienced Twenty20 player who will strengthen our middle order and spin bowling options."

McCullum said: "I'm really excited at the prospect of joining Lancashire.

"Twenty20 is a form of the game I really enjoy so hopefully we can have a successful campaign and go the distance.

"I've heard great things about Lancashire as a club and can't wait to get over there."

Lancashire hope McCullum will make his debut in the Twenty20 match against Northants Steelbacks at Old Trafford on Wednesday, 9 June.

The all-rounder is available for all Lancashire matches in the group stages of the competition.
