Biography:

Affectionately known as 'Lovely Trenty', Boult has evolved into one of the most effective strike bowlers on the planet.

With his metronomic line and the ability to swing the ball late, the 29-year-old New Zealander has wreaked havoc on batting orders across the globe, working his way to second place on the ICC's rankings of best ODI bowlers.

Boult will be looking for a repeat of his performance at the 2015 World Cup, where he was the top wicket-taker of the tournament on his home soil.

For NZ to go one better than their final appearance that year, Boult will need to be at the top of his game.
