Another example of how the world of cricket is changing is the famous cricketer Trent Boult’s withdrawal from the contract of the New Zealand Cricket Board.
33-year-old Trent Boult has played 78 Tests, 93 ODIs and 44 T20Is for New Zealand. He has taken 317 wickets in Tests, 169 wickets in ODIs and 62 wickets in T20Is and is the main player of the New Zealand team.
In this case, Trent Boult has requested to withdraw from the contract of the New Zealand Cricket Board due to workload and spending more time with his family. The New Zealand Cricket Board also accepted this and released him.
I have been playing for New Zealand for 12 years. I have made this decision for my wife Gert and three young sons. I am preparing for life after cricket by giving priority to family. I know this decision will affect my chances of being selected for the New Zealand team as there is no contract. Bolt has explained about his decision that he is moving on to the next phase of his career as he can play for less time as a fast bowler.
Although Bolt has not retired from international cricket, it seems that from now on he will only be seen in important international matches like the World Cup. Bolt played 16 matches for Rajasthan in the 2022 IPL. Trend Boldt’s contribution is expected to be high in the T20 league matches with the current result.
