I think the volts have shot themselves in the foot with this. They've signed the countries best keeper for sure, but he'll only be around for a third of their games if that. and in turn they lose the second best keeper (according to the NZ selectors).
If that's true, then its a very silly move by the Volts. There is actually some test cricket this summer, so McCullum is going to available even less than normal. Who will keep for them then? Maybe they could haul Chris Nevin away from Wellington, but if they end up with Reece Young... well... I doubt they'll be too happy with that.
