After a strong 2017 season, Trent Boult has been recognised by cricket's governing body, with the left-arm fast bowler named in the ICC one-day international team of the year.
Boult, who played 25 ODIs in 2017, was the only Black Caps player to feature in the 11-man team. No Black Caps were named in the test team of the year.
Boult showed his quality in 2017, picking up 45 wickets - including two five-wicket bags - at an average of 26.86, with his best figures of the year being 7-34 against the West Indies in late December.
The 28-year-old was joined by Australia's David Warner; India's Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah; Pakistan's Babar Azam and Hasan Ali; South Africa's AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock; England's Ben Stokes; and Afghanistan's Rashid Khan in the ODI team of the year.
