The decision started doing rounds on social media after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/?s=New+Zealand+Cricket+Board\">New Zealand Cricket Board<\/a> released the player from central cricket. It is learned that the player had requested the cricket board to release him from the central contract so that he is available to play domestic T20 leagues around the world and also spend quality time with his family. Boult will have a lesser role in International cricket but he can be considered for national duty when he makes himself available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe respect Trent\u2019s position,\u201d New Zealand Cricket chief executive White said on Wednesday (August 10). \u201cHe\u2019s been completely honest and up-front with us about his reasoning and, while we\u2019re sad to be losing him as a fully-contracted player, he leaves with our best wishes and our sincere thanks. Twitter soon started making rounds wondering about the exit of Trent Boult from the central contract, further, shrinking his chances of getting selected for the national team.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The decisions that Quinton de Kock, and specifically Trent Boult, have made, point to a future of shorter international careers and more players happy to be part of the gig economy. With young families, it isn't easy to play both, international cricket and T20 leagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bhogleharsha\/status\/1557201741334351872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trent Boult has been released from the New Zealand central contract as per his request to spend more time with family & domestic leagues \u2013 This will reduce his role in Kiwis and will be eligible in International cricket when he is available.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Johns.
