ENG vs NZ: Trent Boult Likely To Miss Test Series Against England

New Zealand pace bowler Trent Boult is likely to miss the Test series against England that begins on June 2 as he will be returning home from India Premier League (IPL) instead of going to England wit

"New Zealand's IPL-based Test contingent will depart India for the United Kingdom on May 11th - the earliest date an exemption for their arrival in England could be obtained," said the statement.

"Kane Williamson, Kyle Jamieson, and Mitchell Santner, as well as physio Tommy Simsek, will remain in a secure mini-bubble in New Delhi before departing for the UK, ahead of preparations for the Test series against England, and the ICC World Test Championship final against India."

The Australian contingent in the IPL departed for the Maldives on Thursday while eight of the 11 England players reached England on Wednesday.
