New Zealand Announces Squads For Series Against India, Trent Boult Unavailable For Tests
New Zealand left-arm pacer Trent Boult has made himself unavailable for the upcoming two-match Test series against India. The reason behind Boult's and pace all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme's unavailability for the Tests against India has been due to the prospect of further time in bio-secure bubbles and Managed Isolation, said New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on Thursday. Boult will leave for New Zealand after taking part in the three-match T20I series against India.
"Trent has already spent the best part of 60 days in hard-managed isolation this year, while Colin had been on the road since May until recently returning home from Pakistan. From talking to both players it was clear the best option for them was to be left out of this Test tour and for them to instead focus on being ready for the New Zealand home summer," said New Zealand coach Gary Stead in a statement.
