New Zealand veteran Boult looking for ‘one more run’ at ODI World Cup title
The HinduAfter 12 months out of One-Day International cricket, New Zealand seamer Trent Boult is relishing a third crack at the 50-overs World Cup after bitter defeats in the last two finals. The 34-year-old is one of the world’s best ODI bowlers, but spent the last year sidelined from the Black Caps after turning down a New Zealand Cricket contract to play for lucrative Twenty20 teams in Australia, the United States and India. Putting his international career on hold to spend more time with his young family was a risk, but Boult is back in the frame for October’s ODI World Cup after signing a casual-playing agreement with New Zealand cricket chiefs. “I can’t wait for more.” Boult was a key part of New Zealand’s run to the last two finals when it lost to Australia in 2015 at Melbourne, then England four years later at Lords.
