Brendon McCullum was rewarded for his consistency for the BLACKCAPS to ultimately win this years international Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP rankings. With last years international MVP winner Daniel Vettori, not playing in either the T20I or ODI formats, it was likely that a new Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP would emerge for 2011/12, with McCullum ultimately taking out the coveted honor. McCullum has been the most consistent batsman across the three formats which meant he was the deserved most valuable player in international cricket this summer. Following an unfortunate injury to Ross Taylor in the Zimbabwe Test McCullum was handed the captaincy through until the South African Test series. The added responsibility seemed to inspire McCullum's performances, personified by a match winning 119 in the third ODI against Zimbabwe. Contributing to the team in all formats is a difficult challenge but one that McCullum was able to execute with great effect. Not only was he the Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP for the international T20 earlier in the season, but he was also the winner of the Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP ODI rankings as well.McCullum finished the season with 280.47 Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP points, a lead of 27.39 points over second placed Martin Guptill, whose outstanding One Day and T20I form ensured he finished 2nd on the overall table with 253.08 MVP points. Doug Bracewell, Kane Williamson and Rob Nicol rounded out the top five on the Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP rankings.
