Brendon McCullum sues over captaincy claims
McCullum said he was not seeking monetary damages.
WELLINGTON (AP) - New Zealand cricket captain Brendon McCullum has launched defamation proceedings against former test player John Parker over allegations made about McCullum s role in the removal of former captain Ross Taylor.
Parker headed a group of former players, including a number of test captains, who produced a report on New Zealand Cricket s handling of Taylor s firing and raised questions over it s wider governance.
In a statement released by his lawyers on Friday, McCullum said he was not seeking monetary damages, but an acknowledgement the allegations contained in Parker s report are "completely false."
He said the report "makes some very serious attacks on my integrity, my honesty and my ethics as a professional sportsman."
