Former New Zealand wicketkeeper Adam Parore has admitted to a drink-driving charge.

Reports say Parore was stopped in Auckland on January 26 and failed a breathalyser test, which showed his blood alcohol level to be double the legal limit.

The 47-year-old pleaded guilty to one charge of driving with excess breath alcohol at Papakura District Court on Monday.

Parore played in 78 Test matches for the Blackcaps, making 204 dismissals and scoring 2,865 runs.

He also represented his country in 179 one-day internationals.
