New Zealand's premier pacer Trent Boult unsure of availability for first T20I against WI

New Zealand spearhead Trent Boult is unsure of featuring in the first T20I against the reigning T20 world champions West Indies on November 27. Skipper Kane Williamson, Lockie Ferguson, Mitchell Santner, Jimmy Neesham, Tim Seifert, and Boult have returned after having participated in the recently-concluded Dream11 IPL 2020. They are now put in isolation for fourteen days and the left-arm speedster is not sure whether he will play in the first T20I.

'I'm not too sure': Trent Boult

"It's my favorite format and I want to make sure I can ramp up towards them," stuff.co.nz quoted Boult as saying.

"If I can be involved in the T20s, then that's exciting, too. But we finish up here a day before that starts, so I'm not too sure," he added.

The Rohit Sharma-led side successfully retained their title and won it for a record fifth time after getting the better of defiant Delhi in the tournament decider by 5 wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
