Still as hungry as ever to represent New Zealand and do something special - Boult

New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult is looking to "play a big role" in the upcoming World Cup in India. The 34-year-old had opted out of the central contract around this time last year but finds himself back in the national fold after he was named in the ODI squad for the England tour, a tourney that will earmark New Zealand's final preparations to achieve what they fell just short of in 2019.

"I've always had it in my mind to come back, and working towards an ODI World Cup, with the history involved there and the times that we've had in previous campaigns have been very exciting," Boult, who last played an ODI in September last year, said on Thursday (August 10). "So just hungry to get involved and hopefully play a big role, just thinking about hopefully lifting something pretty shiny that we were pretty close to four years ago."

Boult also looked back on his decision to forego the central contract and instead play franchise cricket around the world.

"It wasn't an easy decision to make a year ago... to move away from the New Zealand Cricket bubble," Boult said. "I never wanted it to be about New Zealand or franchise cricket. I just respected the fact that my career's only so long and to try and make the most out of my remaining years as a bowler. I'm definitely still as hungry as ever to represent my country and hopefully do something special with the guys over the next couple of months.

"I still respect the international game immensely," Boult added."It plays a big role in any kid trying to come through and play cricket as a dream and the ODI World Cup is still the pinnacle in my opinion.

"I think everyone looks at T20 cricket and says 'oh, it's only 20 overs, or four overs as a bowler'... but it's still about intensity and the training that goes into it, and the time away from home is the thing as well.

Fawad Alam quits Pakistan cricket for career in USA

Image
  Fawad Alam turns 37 in October this year. © Getty Out of favor batter Fawad Alam has called time on his Pakistan career that spanned for 15 years. Alam, who turns 37 in October, will turn up as a 'local' player for the Chicago Kingsmen in Minor League Cricket T20, a tournament that underpins USA's just concluded flagship T20 tournament Major League Cricket (MLC). He joins a long list of Pakistan players like Sami Aslam, Hammad Azam, Saif Badar and Mohammad Mohsin who moved bases to USA to ply their trade in the country. Although he made his white ball debut for Pakistan in 2007, Alam's presence has been sporadic at best in the Pakistan dressing room. Notching up a ton on Test debut in 2009, he was dropped a couple of Tests later and played his next Test after a gap of 11 years, despite amassing mountains of runs with an average of 55 in the domestic circuit. Alam established himself in the Test team for a brief period after his career got a new lease of life in 2020. ...

Target to get the knee right and making sure it's ready to go when time comes - Williamson

Image
  Kane Williamson ruptured his ACL on the opening night of IPL 2023 © Getty Will he? Won't he? That's been the big question around Kane Williamson and his race to fitness ever since he ruptured his ACL on the opening night of IPL 2023. There's less than two months to go for the World Cup but it must be said that for an injury that takes its time to heal, Williamson has done really well to get back to facing throwdowns in just around four months after the injury. Williamson was guarded while speaking about his recovery but did admit to entertaining thoughts of "earlier targets" given how he has been tracking. "If the knee is at a stage where that can be a reality, that's great, but it very much is about getting it right and making sure it is ready to go when that time comes - whenever that time is," Williamson said ahead of a net session in Mount Maunganui. "You do have some good days, then you have a few variable ones. It's all part of the j...

'It was Ben's call': Buttler on Stokes's return for ODI World Cup

Image
  by    Cricbuzz Staff   •    Published on   Fri, Aug 18, 2023, 04:44 PM Share Tweet Jos Buttler said badgering Stokes about coming back wouldn't have worked © Getty England's white-ball captain Jos Buttler maintained that Ben Stokes's  return from ODI retirement  was purely the all-rounder's decision and that the team management took negligible initiative in this regard. Stokes, who had retired from the 50-over format in July 2022, reversed his stance earlier this week and was named in England's provisional World Cup squad. It was after the recently-concluded Ashes series that Stokes decided to communicate his decision to Buttler. The England and Wales Cricket Board had (ECB) left the whole matter in the skipper's hands, given Buttler's well-known rapport with Stokes. While numerous discussions had reportedly happened between the two, the ball had been left in the all-rounder's court. "To be honest, it was Ben's call," Buttler said. "...
