McCullum not to keep wickets in Wellington One-dayer

Wellington, March 5 : Brendon McCullum will not keep wickets in the one-day international against India here Friday.

While McCullum is expected to play as a batsman, Northern Knights wicketkeeper Peter McGlashan has been drafted in for Friday's game.

McCullum injured his right thumb while batting in the first one-dayer at Napier, aggravating an old injury.

New Zealand manager Dave Currie said medical opinion ruled McCullum out of keeping wickets but he was hopeful McCullum would be able to bat.
