One half of the greatest new-ball pair in New Zealand history (the other is Tim Southee), the left-arm quick presents a significant threat to batsmen around the world with his ability to move the ball both ways, even on unresponsive pitches.

Boult has been a key member of New Zealand’s side in all three formats and leads the bowling attack along with Southee. He has been in stellar form for the last 2-3 years in all formats, picking up wickets regularly. Since the start of 2015, Boult has taken 80 wickets in 41 ODIs at a very good average of 24.80. He was also the joint-highest wicket-taker in the 2015 World Cup.

Boult, who is still only 28 years old, is one of the most skilful bowlers in the world today.
