In an emotional Instagram post Trent Boult the veteran New Zealand pacer reflected on his final T20I during the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup. Despite their longstanding success in ICC tournaments the Kiwis faced a dismal campaign exiting in the group stage.
New Zealand finished their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign on a high note, defeating Papua New Guinea on Monday, June 17. Boult finished with an impressive 4-0-14-2 record.
Trent Boult recently posted a handful of photos on his official Instagram account, reflecting on his T20I career. He focused on his on-field experiences with his long-time colleagues Kane Williamson and Tim Southee, with whom he has competed since age group cricket.
“Time flys!! Who would’ve thought the game we played as young kids would take us this far. Great to look back on some memories with @kane_s_w & @tim_southee ????????” Boult wrote.

“It has been a hell of a ride, brother ????”
“Some great memories, and hopefully a couple more still to come”- Trent Boult on his future plans
Trent Boult told to media recently that the 2024 T20 World Cup will be his last ICC competition in the shortest format. The left-arm pacer also warmly remembers his famous on-and off-field cooperation with Tim Southee throughout the years, saying:
“Speaking on behalf of myself, this will be my last T20 World Cup. I look at the partnership with Tim with very fond memories. We bowled a lot of overs together. I know the partnership very well, and obviously he’s a very good friend on and off the ground. It was nice to wind back the clock a little bit and see a bit of swing bowling at the top. Some great memories, and hopefully a couple more still to come.”
