Last night, ahead of today's release of his autobiography Declared, McCullum lashed out at Cairns during an interview with Seven Sharp. The pressure of playing international cricket had worn thin, but McCullum said the public scrutiny of his decision to give evidence at Cairns' trial had also taken its toll. McCullum told the jury that Cairns, his former team-mate and friend, approached him to fix matches on two occasions in 2008. McCullum was one of three key Crown witnesses against Cairns.
