New Zealand Sweat Over Trent Boult, Henry Nicholls For England Test Opener
Trent Boult and Henry Nicholls may miss New Zealand's first Test against England despite being named in the squad for the clash starting at Lord's on Thursday. Boult played in the Indian Premier League final for Rajasthan Royals on Sunday and is unlikely to recover in time for five days of Test cricket. Nicholls has had a disrupted start to the tour of England due to injury problems and a bout of the coronavirus. "We'll see how Trent scrubs up but I've had conversations with him leading up into this. It's part of the world and the way it is right now with the complexity of putting schedules together," New Zealand head coach Gary Stead told reporters on Monday.
