Trent Boult, 18, is a left-arm medium-fast bowler who was invited to participate in New Zealand A's winter training squad in 2007. Still to make his first-class debut, Boult was included in the squad for the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in February 2008. It is perhaps no surprise, given his skills, that his favourite cricketer is Wasim Akram. Cricket aside, Boult hopes to become a chef and open his own chain of restaurants across New Zealand.
