Boult was feeling unwell and he had to stay away as a precaution, though, veteran batsman Ross Taylor was hopeful that pacer would be fit to go on the third day of the camp.
As per ESPNcricinfo, Taylor said of Boult: “I think he's just tired from his eight overs bowling at us yesterday. Obviously, with what's going around, you've got to be a bit smart around things like that. Hopefully, he's fine and raring to go tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, New Zealand Cricket is currently having a camp for cricketer from the national men’s and women’s teams based in North Island amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Noteworthy, Taylor and Boult both are part of the 8 players’ team to attend the first half of the North camp, while the other six are – Colin de Grandhomme, Jeet Raval, Mitchell Santner, Tim Seifert, Tim Southee and Neil Wagner of New Zealand men’s team.
