Meanwhile, a report from SENZ claimed that Boult will be seen playing for the Blackcaps in the ODI World Cup later this year which will be hosted by India. Bout’s inclusion will surely make the New Zealand squad stronger as he has always delivered for his national side in multiple major tournaments. Here’s what Boult said about playing for his national side again.

"I've still got that big desire to play for New Zealand. It is what it is: I've made my decision. I've been lucky enough to have a 13-year career in the Black Cap and hey, I've still got a big desire to play in the World Cup as well. We'll see how that unfolds: there's still a bit of movement in the landscape at the moment," Boult told ESPNcricinfo on the sidelines of his IPL stint with Rajasthan Royals.

It's a shame with what's going on with his knee but he'll be working as hard as he can to try and get there. It's such a great tournament One hundred per cent, I've got that desire to be out there," he said referring to the injury Williamson suffered at the start of IPL.
