No dearth of pace-bowling options for NZ for WTC: Boult

Birmingham, June 13: New Zealand left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult feels that his team is spoilt for choice in the pace department ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against the Virat Kohli-led India at Southampton from June 18. “Healthy competition,” said Boult, who took five wickets in both innings of the second Test against England. “The boys are very excited about the prospect, but they’ve put in a lot of hard yards not just over the last couple of weeks but over a couple of years of a Test Championship cycle. Some hard calls will have to be made but the big picture is the collective goal of lifting the world title,” Boult told ESPNcricinfo.com. New Zealand bowlers have excelled in English conditions with the likes of Southee, Jamieson and Wagner. (IANS)
