Trent Boult
Draft Round: 3
Playing Role: Fast Bowler

Trent Boult is only new on the international scene, but has already made an impact in his 22 years. The left-arm seamer burst on to the scene in 2008, at the U/19 World Cup in Malaysia, proving himself to be a cut above with 11 wickets at 10.90 at the tournament.

His first class debut was not for provincial side Northern Districts, but for New Zealand A in Chennai, where he dismissed Suresh Raina in his first innings. From there, he solidified himself as a prodigious young talent for New Zealand, and was selected for the Test side to play Australia in Hobart in 2011/12. He played a major role in that famous victory, taking 3/29 in the first innings and then slamming an unbeaten 21 (off only 13 balls) in the second. This contribution was integral, as he shepherded Chris Martin well enough to add 23 for the last wicket, as New Zealand won by 8 runs.

He has 87 first class wickets at a touch over 26 apiece, and 8 Test scalps at 33. The Shakespearean Animals CC is glad to welcome the young man, and aid in his development into a test-class bowler for years to come.
