NEW DELHI : Trent Boult giving up his New Zealand Cricket contract is another sign of a revolution sweeping through the game - a change happening not at the leisurely pace of a test match but at the breakneck speed of a Twenty20 innings.
Alex Lees believes the exploits of England’s newly aggressive Test team have created a buzz in the county game, having helped “spread the word” during his recent stint with Durham.
New Zealand Cricket said on Thursday that they are looking into allegations by former skipper Ross Taylor that he suffered racism.
Jonny Bairstow has enjoyed a magnificent summer so far, striking four brilliant Test match hundreds for England in stunning wins over New Zealand and India.
It is not quite an international retirement, more like a conscious uncoupling. Trent Boult’s decision to relinquish his New Zealand central contract to create more time to play in Twenty20 leagues is another indication of how rapidly cricket’s landscape is changing.
New Zealand icon Ross Taylor, who retired from international cricket earlier this year, released his autobiography on Thursday. In the book, titled "Black & White", Taylor opened up about instances of racism that he faced through his playing career. He spoke about how it would crop up in dressing room banter and in comments from some staff members and officials. He noted that he knew the comments didn't come from a "racist perspective", but rather due to "insensitivity" and lack of empathy.
Trent Boult's decision to pull out of a national contract with New Zealand Cricket to spend more time with family has intensified the debate on players preferring to play franchise cricket over international cricket. Iconic Australian pacer Jason Gillespie, however, backed Boult's decision, however, while also saying that the "cricketing landscape" has been changing. "Whether we like/agree or not, the cricketing landscape has been changing for a while now," Gillespie tweeted in response to the news on Boult being released from his contract.
The West Indies' season of white ball woes continued on Wednesday when New Zealand completed a 13-run win in the first T20 International of a three-match series at Sabina Park in Jamaica.
