Christchurch, April 12 : Trent Boult’s red-hot form during BlackCaps’ run to the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 final resulted in him being named New Zealand Cricket (NZC) Men’s T20 International Player of the Year on Tuesday, while White Ferns captain Sophie Devine claimed the corresponding women’s award. Boult’s 13 wickets at the T20 World Cup at an average of 13.30 saw him surpassing teammates Tim Southee, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi. “It means a lot. T20 is a format I really enjoy and one I’m constantly trying to adapt my game to in order to become a better bowler. It’s something very special to win this award and I feel really grateful to receive it,” said Boult. Devine’s second New Zealand T20I award in two years came after she scored 118 runs in four outings at 29.50, with an overall strike-rate of 113.46 and a top-score of 50 against England. The awards, which are being delivered digitally over three days, also crowned Amelie Kerr and Michael Bracewell as the Super Smash Players of the Year, while Ross Taylor’s final wicket in his last Test in Christchurch was voted as the Fan Moment of the Summer.
