Pullen represented the Leicestershire Cricket Board in List A cricket. His debut List A match came against Hertfordshire in the 1999 NatWest Trophy. From 1999 to 2002, he represented the Board in 7 List A matches, the last of which came against the Kent Cricket Board in the 2nd round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy which was played in 2002.[1]

In his 7 List A matches, he scored 225 runs at a batting average of 37.50, with 2 half centuries and a high score of 88.
