Trent Bolt said from his heart :-

Trent Boult said, “This has been a really difficult decision for me and I want to thank NZC (New Zealand Cricket) for their support in getting to this point. Playing cricket for my country was a childhood dream and a past. I am very proud of what I have achieved in 12 years with the Black Caps.”

According to the ICC, Trent Boult further said in his statement, “Ultimately this decision is about my wife Gert and our three young boys. Family has always been my biggest motivator. I want to put it first and then cricket.” I feel comfortable preparing myself to give life.”

Trent Boult is currently the No. 1 ODI ranked bowler :-

Bolt is currently the No. 1 ODI ranked bowler. The left-arm bowler has taken 169 wickets in 93 matches for New Zealand. When he’ll resume playing international cricket remains to be seen. Boult knows his decision will reduce his chances of being picked for international matches in the future.

Regarding this, he says, “I still have a great desire to represent my country and I feel that I have the skills to perform at the international level.

However, I respect the fact that not having a national contract will affect my chances of selection. Having said that, as a fast bowler I know that my career is limited and I think the time is right to move to this next stage.”
