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.

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.
