UAE conditions will matter: Boult

By The Assam Tribune

DUBAI, Sept 14: Set to lead four-time champions Mumbai Indians bowling attack in absence of Lasith Malinga, Kiwi left-arm pacer Trent Boult believes the biggest challenge for all the teams in the 13th IPL will be to adjust to the hot and humid UAE conditions. In his first stint with the Mumbai Indians after being traded by Delhi Capitals last year, Boult will have to share bulk of the responsibility of the team�s bowling attack after Sri Lankan Malinga opted out of this year�s IPL due to personal reasons.

Speaking about his new association, Boult said it is always a sigh of relief for any bowler to be on the other side of a batting-heavy outfit like Mumbai Indians.

�The biggest challenge so far has been trying to prepare to come to 45 degrees in the middle of the desert. I come from a very small country New Zealand which is about 7 or 8 degrees at the moment in the middle of winter,� Boult said in a video posted by Mumbai Indians on their official twitter handle. � PTI
