New Zealand's Trent Boult has confirmed that he will not play at another T20 World Cup.
Boult, who has 32 wickets in 17 outings in the tournament, will prepare for the Black Caps' final game of this year's edition against Papua New Guinea on Monday.
New Zealand exited a World Cup before the last four for the first time since 2014 after losing their opening games to Afghanistan and West Indies.
Despite earning their maiden win of the tournament against Uganda, Monday's fixture against Papua New Guinea means little for New Zealand.
And 34-year-old Boult confirmed that match will be his final appearance at a T20 World Cup.
"Speaking on behalf of myself, this will be my last T20 World Cup," Boult told the media.
With him bowing out from the T20 World Cup, the Black Caps will now have to fill a gaping hole in their bowling attack for 2026.
In the current squad, only three players will be under 30-years-old, with Tim Southee another standout name who looks set to step back in the coming years.
Both Boult and Southee have played a pivotal role in recent ODI and T20 World Cups, and Boult is hopeful the latest edition of the competition will not be the last time he features alongside his good friend.
"I look at the partnership with Tim with very fond memories," he said. "We bowled a lot of overs together. I know the partnership very well, and obviously he's a very good friend on and off the ground.
"It was nice to wind back the clock a little bit and see a bit of swing bowling at the top. Some great memories, and hopefully a couple more still to come."
