Shane Bond and Boult will now have to finish quarantine before joining the rest of the MI contingent in the training camp. The Mumbai Indians franchise shared a post with a photo of the duo on its official Twitter handle on Saturday to reveal the same.
They captioned it:
Shane Bond has been the team’s bowling coach for the last few years. Trent Boult is one of the main bowling weapons. In the first half of the IPL, Boult scalped eight wickets across seven matches at an average of 27.87, with 3/28 being his best figures.
“Shane Bond will hopefully bring some tactical insight for the T20 World Cup” - New Zealand head coach Gary Stead
The New Zealand cricket board recently recruited Shane Bond to their coaching set-up for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in UAE and Oman. After this development, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead shed some light on the thought process behind that decision.
He revealed that Shane Bond’s tactical inputs from the experience of being involved in the IPL just before the World Cup would help the New Zealand side. On the matter, Gary Stead said:
Coming back to the IPL, Shane Bond will be hoping that the Mumbai Indians bowling unit continues to flourish in the second half. The performances of pacers Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah will be pivotal to the team’s hopes of winning their third consecutive IPL trophy win in the coming months.
