Christchurch, Feb 21: New Zealand pacer Trent Boult will not be available for the second test against South Africa, coach Gary Stead said on Monday. “He is not in a position to be available with his loads and where he’s at. Since his wife Since his wife has been having the baby he’s missed out on a lot of opportunities to play cricket and bowl. We just felt the risk of him playing was far too great at the moment.”
