Brendon McCullum had to wait for a while before making a Test debut

ODI Debut: 17 January 2002

Test Debut: 10 March 2004

Despite batting lower down the order for a large part of his Test career, New Zealand's star cricketer Brendon McCullum ended his career with some impressive statistics. He also earned the privilege of being the only batsman from his country to have scored a triple century in the five-day format.

Prior to making his debut, though, McCullum already had a decent amount of ODI cricket behind him. The Kiwi made his one-day international debut against Australia during a triangular tournament in 2002, which also involved South Africa.

Brendon McCullum's Test and limited-overs career went hand-in-hand ever since and he later became one of New Zealand's greatest captains of all time.
