McCullum addressed the situation in a press conference today, he said: “When I first found out about this I was bewildered then you go through a range of emotions.
“You go from being bewildered on to angry and then on to kind of gutted. From the process we talked about over the last six months and what we’re trying do and some of the improvements we have tried to make including the standards we want to set for ourselves, to then hear about this was gutting.
“I am worried about Ben, I’ll leave it at that. Whatever he is working through at the moment, it will be because Ben thinks that is right for dealing with what he’s feeling at the moment.
“My concern is Ben.”
