Stuart James McCullum (born 6 December 1956) is a New Zealand former cricketer who played for Otago between the 1976–77 season and 1990–91. A left-handed opening batsman who occasionally kept-wicket, he is the father of former New Zealand international cricketers Brendon and Nathan McCullum.[1][2][3]
McCullum was born at Eltham in Taranaki in 1956. He was educated at King's High School in Dunedin and played club cricket for Albion Cricket Club in a working-class area in the south of the city.[4][5][6] He first played age-group cricket for Otago during the 1974–75 season and made his representative debut for the provincial team in December 1976. Opening the batting for Otago against Canterbury at Christchurch, a half-century on debut saw McCullum retained in the Otago team for much the season, scoring 273 runs in eight matches.[1]
After making his List A debut later in the 1976–77 season, McCullum went on to play for Otago in every season until the end of 1990–91. He featured in 75 first-class matches, scoring 3,174 runs and making two centuries, and in 41 List A matches, scoring 798 runs with a highest score of 97 not out made against the touring England international team in January 1984.[1] After returning he became a selector for the Otago representative team.[4]
