Trent Alexander Boult was born on July 22, 1989, in Rotorua, New Zealand. He grew up in Ōhope and Tauranga, attending Otumoetai College. Boult began his cricket journey rising through the New Zealand age group system, demonstrating an early aptitude for swing bowling. He made his Test debut for New Zealand in December 2011 against Australia in Hobart, a match where New Zealand secured their first Test win in Australia since 1985. In this debut match, Boult took four wickets and contributed 21 runs with the bat. His One Day International (ODI) debut followed in July 2012, marking the beginning of his international career across all formats. His early career highlighted his potential as a left-arm fast-medium bowler known for his ability to swing the ball.
Boult’s career progressed significantly, forming a strong opening bowling partnership with Tim Southee, which became a cornerstone of New Zealand’s success. This partnership, which began effectively in 2013, has accounted for a substantial percentage of wickets taken by New Zealand. He gained international recognition as the joint leading wicket-taker at the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Throughout his career, Boult has consistently delivered strong performances, including taking a hat-trick in ODIs in November 2018 and becoming the first New Zealand bowler to achieve a hat-trick at the Cricket World Cup in June 2019. He was a key member of the New Zealand team that won the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship and was part of the squads that finished as runners-up in the 2015 and 2019 Cricket World Cups, and the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup.
His impact extends to franchise cricket, where he has been a sought-after player in various Twenty20 leagues globally. He was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2015 and has since played for several franchises, including Kolkata Knight Riders (2017), Delhi Capitals (2018-2019), Mumbai Indians (2020-2021, and again in 2025), and Rajasthan Royals (2022-2024). A notable milestone in his IPL career was his critical role in Mumbai Indians winning the 2020 IPL title, where he was named Player of the Match in the final and finished as the third-highest wicket-taker with 25 wickets. Boult also holds the record for most maiden overs bowled in a single IPL season with four. After representing New Zealand in all formats until 2024, he retired from international cricket following the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, continuing to participate in global T20 leagues.
