He had a successful start to his international career, getting wickets in matches against the West Indies, India, England, and Sri Lanka.
After three 10-wicket hauls in tests, he was selected for the New Zealand T20 World Cup team in 2012.
With four wickets in two games, the left-arm swing bowler made the most of his opportunity in the shorter format.

Boult was given away by the Hyderabad team before being acquired by KKR for an incredible INR 5 crores. He had a strong performance in the few games he played this season, which supported his high price.

His most notable accomplishment was his first 10-wicket haul in the second Test against the West Indies at Basin Reserve.
The left-hand pacer continued to put in outstanding results during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, and he proved to be a great counterbalance for Tim Southee, another up-and-coming pacer.
In 5 tests against England in 2013, he claimed 19 wickets, including 6/68 at Eden Park in March, his second-best test match innings bowling total.
On February 9, 2013, Trent played in his first Twenty20 international match against England. In the four overs he was given to bowl, he dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Stuart Broad.
Boult did not appear in the entirety of the 2016 edition as a result of New Zealand’s highly praised “horses for courses” approach in the World T20.
Boult has only played 22 T20 internationals in his career, despite being successful in ODI and Test cricket.
