Trent Boult Released from New Zealand Cricket Contract,

NZC on Wednesday officially confirmed that ace speedster Trent Boult has been released from his central contract

so that he can spend time with his young family, while also making himself available for domestic games.

The left-arm quick made the request after several conversations with his cricket board.

“The move means Boult, who has taken 317 Test wickets, 169 at ODI level, and 62 in T20I cricket,

will have a significantly reduced role with the BLACKCAPS during his final years in the game,

while still being eligible for selection if and when available," stated an official release issued by NZC.
