Brendon McCullum has been out of the game for a few months now - but the 34-year-old has certainly been keeping himself occupied since quitting international cricket.
The former Black Caps skipper has been heavily involved in his ambassadorial role for the newly founded Maia Foundation, what is the Maia Foundation?
He also remains very much involved in the cricketing world after delivering the MCC Spirit of Cricket speech in June.
The Maia Foundation is working to build a bigger helicopter pad at Christchurch Hospital, which is expected to reduce the time it would take for emergency services to get critically injured patients into a ward by 12 minutes.
The foundation is wanting $5.2 million for that project and for enhancements to facilities in the hospital's children's ward.
And McCullum joked that a link-up with another legendary New Zealand sporting captain could be on the cards, after Richie McCaw earned his fixed-wing pilot licence a few months ago.
"Richie's a man of many talents - if someone was there to save your life I think Richie would be the one most New Zealanders would want to do it," McCullum said.
McCullum was understandably anxious ahead of his speech at Lord's - not a surprise given he bravely stood by his stance on the Chris Cairns saga and attacked the ICC for being unprofessional.
"I was really nervous actually, because the prestige of delivering such a speech and the honour of the guys who've gone before and delivered it," he explained.
"There was quite a bit of pressure, so it was nice to have delivered it in my own way and hopefully have hit some pertinent points as well."
He said addressing the big talking points was important as he knew having that good an opportunity to speak on the matters wasn't that common.
"You've only got a few stages in life where you've got a chance to be able to stand up and say what you genuinely believe in a sport and an industry that has taken most of your life," he said.
"I was very lucky to be given that platform to do so and I felt very humbled when I was asked, and in the end I guess it's about being authentic to your own style and your own personality - and that's what I tried to do."
McCullum still plays Twenty20 cricket in the Indian Premier League, and recently required surgery on his back to sort an injury that plagued the last part of his international career and left him "running like a 70-year-old man".
He says his rehabilitation has been progressing well, but a full recovery is expected to take between three and five months.
